We are running 3.01 on our 850.  We have not experienced this problem with
curses.  We "ported" a curses program to the 850 and it worked fine.  The
program has inverse-video regions on the screen.  The same code works on
several different versions of hp-ux.  Can you provide more info on your
problem?   Could it be your terminfo entry?  Have you tried it more than
one type of terminal?  Can you post a small sample program that illustrates
the problem?
