This is a real longshot: is your TERM or TERMCAP environment variable
set correctly? It might be that mutt is issuing a control sequence to
the terminal (to render the output, initialize the screen, etc) using
an escape sequence that the terminal thinks is a request for
information. This could cause the terminal to generate the phantom
keystrokes as part of its [unexpected] response to mutt.
