March 2002 is now "recently".  In terms of releases, maybe.

The internal S-Lang library was updated in October 2002.

I don't think it's related to "bce", but you can recompile the terminal 
definition without it.  If you create ~/.terminfo, the recompiled 
definition will go there.

mkdir ~/.terminfo
infocmp | sed s/bce,// >xterm.ti
tic xterm.ti

Then you have a real xterm, not a clone, so the problem is different.  It
may be hard to figure out.  Try to find if mc outputs different sequences
or they are displayed differently.  Find which sequences are different and
identify them.  Find where S-Lang generates them.  Then maybe you'll
understand the problem.
