Hi Peter,
I would happily do it but unfortunately I've been unable to identify the
culprit, despite me spending a lot of time in pager.c

In mutt 1.8.0 upstread did completely rewrite the pager, and neomutt also put
some patches on the top on that, to clean up the code, so the problem is fixed. 

I will try to investigate a bit more and try to write a patch for stretch but it
will require some more time unfortunately.
