After investigating this problem further, I found a fix:
alias vim="vim -c 'set ttymouse=xterm2'"
For whatever reason, this command has to run AFTER vim has started up
and read the ~/.vimrc, putting this command into the ~/.vimrc has no effect.
Seems like some sort of bug, but for now I will use the alias.
