Code-wise I have no idea yet ;)

My initial approach would be to have a look at the patches that
introduced word wrapping in the first place. If I'm lucky they 
modified
the GUI code to still show the fringe indicators, but simply 
missed the
TUI code.

However, I've not read any Emacs C code ever. I'll look into it 
and come
back when I unserstand the problem.
