I believe, I know what happens. When zsh creates parameters from environment,
it splits env string in-place; when tgetent is called (from init_term from
termsetfn), envronment string for TERM looks like

TERM\0xterm

Obviously, tgetent (or some functions called from it) does not like this. But
it was there for at least half an year already. I am not sure, but I think, it
was there before my patch as well.

I'll send a patch later, hopefully today.
