I have the same config, but I don't enjoy cleaning up the mess.

Let's take a look, what is the behaviour in an xterm window:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
airwin@kempelen:~ % echo -n Hello World\!                                 % 257
Hello World!airwin@kempelen:~ %                                                % 258
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Now I turn "Auto Wraparound" off in xterm:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
airwin@kempelen:~ % echo -n Hello World\!                                 % 257
Hello World!airwin@kempelen:~ %                                                7
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    ^ the cursor is here




Now with "Auto Wraparound" and "Reverse Wraparound"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
airwin@kempelen:~ % echo -n Hello World\!                                 % 257
Hello World!airwin@kempelen:~ %                                                % 257
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         ^ the cursor is here

Is there a way to correct this problem?  (Assuming a perfect terminfo/termcap
database)  Irrespectively of the terminal.
