I don't think so - but insert-mode is togglable.  The only problem in that
area that I would know of isn't applicable to the terminfo I made.  From
man terminfo:

     terminfo can describe both terminals  that  have  an  insert
     mode  and  terminals  which send a simple sequence to open a
     blank position on  the  current  line.   Give  as  smir  the
     sequence to get into insert mode.  Give as rmir the sequence
     to leave insert mode.  Now give as ich1 any sequence  needed
     to be sent just before sending the character to be inserted.
  
Perhaps your terminal's not in insert-mode for some reason.  (My copy
of teraterm works properly afaik).

NAME
     script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS
     script [ -a ] [ filename ]

DESCRIPTION
     script makes a record of everything printed on your  screen.
     The  record  is  written  to  filename.   If no file name is
     given, the record is saved in the file typescript.

     The script command forks and creates a sub-shell,  according
     to  the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this ses-
     sion.  The script ends when the forked shell exits  or  when
     CTRL-D is typed.

OPTIONS
     -a   Append the session  record  to  filename,  rather  than
          overwrite it.

NOTES
     script places everything  that  appears  on  the  screen  in
     filename, including prompts.
