Terminal issues with vim + tmux + Bitvise SSH Server

Hi!

I regularely access my Windows VM using SSH via BitVise SSH Server[1].
Using vim via VNC in a cmd.exe works fine and as expected.

However, via SSH, I noticed the following problems:

- The cursor is only visible in insert mode - outside of insert mode,
I get no visible cursor at all.

- When I press backspace, an U+2302 HOUSE[2] is inserted instead of a
character being deleted.

- When I press the escape key, I have to wait some time before
continuing to type - otherwise, strange symbols are inserted (e.g.
an 'i' with diaeresis for <Esc>o)

My terminal is rxvt-unicode -> tmux -> ssh to Windows. When I drop the
tmux part, it seems only the last problem persists (which I can live
with).

Any idea what could be going wrong, and if there's some workaround I
could do in the SSH server/tmux/vim?

Thanks,

Florian
