New description:

 {{{
 When using external pager of any type, Mutt provides a faulty key command
 prompt before redisplaying the index. This happens even when 'set
 wait_key=no'. It appears to be debugging code that should not visible to
 the user.

 >How-To-Repeat:
 When using an external pager, such as 'set pager=gnuclient', mutt will
 display a prompt after the pager exits, rather than displaying the index
 list. The prompt appears as follows (with a blank, black terminal) as soon
 as the pager application exits.

     Command:

 Pressing '?' at this prompt will sent the key command help for index mode
 (not pager mode) to the external pager. Pressing arrow keys will return
 mutt to the index mode.

 The only case where the index appears to return automatically without
 extra key strokes is when viewing the index help by pressing '?' from
 within the index mode. The help is sent to the pager, the prompt 'Command:
 ' is display, and then the index reappears (without need for extra key
 presses).
 >Fix:
 Unknown
 }}}
