I am unable to reproduce this. If I did come across it, my first
impulse would be to suspect a faulty xrdb entry. If you run
xrdb -q
is there anything like an entry for XTerm.vt100.translations in there?
Or in ~/.Xdefaults, if you have such a file? Or do you set either one
of XFILESEARCHPATH or XUSERFILESEARCHPATH to any unusual values in
your environment? Further, does hitting + work as expected in other
X11 applications? You might also check with xev: If you hit + with
the cursor in the xev window, the terminal you started it from should
display a KeyPress event specifying keycodes and stuff togheter with
one or both of
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2b) "+"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2b) "+"
