--- Comment #2 from fernando.apesteguia@gmail.com ---
Is this really a bug?

According to the man page for teset(1), when invoked as reset, tset does
several things before initializing the terminal as tset. If the -m option is
not passed (as in this case), then tset tries to _guess_ the terminal type that
is being used. As I understand there is no guarantee that this guess will be a
perfect match for all the terminal options.

Additionally, reset -e ^? ensures the correct key binding for the erase
character after the initialization has been completed (in the case of the
reporter).
