That's my fault. That conversion was done at a time when there were a lot fewer eyes looking at AC.
It should obviously be fixed, and a test added to the regression test suite.
It'd also be nice if running the curses test didn't make reading the result impossible. Running "python -m test -u curses test_curses" leaves my terminal window cleared, with no text to scroll back to, and the result of the regression test gone. Redirecting the test to a file fails because curses complains stdio isn't a tty.
(I specifically ran the curses regression test suite several times during the development of 3.4 and I don't recall it ever complaining, so I'm assuming there is no test for this function. But it's possible there is a test, but the irritating behavior of test_curses means it's impossible to see the result.)
