One person's "bug" is another person's feature. In my usage, and opinion of mosh, the remote terminal emulation is at least half the point. It lets you be functional with minuscule amounts of bandwidth, and makes your sessions more responsive when you have plenty of it. It's efficient (enlightened even...) to solve an engineering problem using the appropriate distribution of resources (bandwidth, cpu, memory). A remote terminal that wasted resources sending things that would be invisible anyway strikes me as not just less useful, but really mediocre/lazy design. (IMHO, of course!)
