As was mentioned earlier it's not really a bug. Nevertheless I find it
unbearable also and use something like the attached patch. Note that
that patch also kinda disables bold fonts completely. If you don't want
that tailor it to your needs.

To be honest, the lack of good xterm compatibility in st mostly breaks
it for me also (I also don't use urxvt since I have to log into some
very old servers which don't know rxvt-unicode either). When I feel like
using st I usually set TERM=vt102 on remote servers. That kinda works
most of the time (you won't get colors though--which is something I
don't mind).
An alternative to constantly setting TERM is using a terminal
multiplexer (dvtm, screen, tmux, etc) within st locally. Most systems
out there should be ok with TERM=screen or TERM=rxvt-256color.
