If you run it natively under xterm, it looks fine. If I run it
under "LANG=C luit", the first half of each ACS block looks fine
but the second half is in ASCII, I think because the shift state
isn't being restored.

something like that (luit's design limits the types of shifts it
supports, so vttest will probably never look right in that screen).

As I understand it, luit parses out ISO 2022 sequences out of the
output stream and uses them to modify its internal state rather than
passing them on to the terminal emulator.

However, Save Cursor and Restore Cursor are kind of weird sequences
because they affect the ISO 2022 state *and* more traditional terminal
emulation.

Is it possible for luit to parse Save Cursor and Restore Cursor, modify
its character-translation state, and pass those escape sequences
through to the terminal emulator to handle the
non-character-set-related state changes?

I don't know - will have to investigate when I switch back to luit.
At the moment (aside from working on ncurses of course), I'm fixing
bugs in xterm and vile...
