Thing is, I've seen this problem when the machine on the other
end is running Debian, but not with some other Linux distros.
I'm not entirely sure that it's Apple's fault that the Debian
people have chosen to be jerks in whatever particular way it
is they've chosen.

(I haven't cared enough to dig around and figure out exactly what
 it is about Debian that causes this as I have only one Debian machine
 and it runs more-or-less untouched.)

Just like I don't blame Apple because fucking HP use BIOS-alike
thingos for "SmartArray" controllers that will work with only a
very limited subset of terminal emulators, Terminal.app not being
one of them.  And, for that matter, I don't blame Apple because
our internally-developed account management system assumes you've
got a damned VT-220 on your desk and thus you have to enable the
"strict keybindings" mode which is otherwise undesirable.
