That is the correct place where to report bugs for GAP hosted applications
and projects.
What you see is the general lack of interest in OpenSource projects, people
complain easily on blogs and mailing lists, few report bugs, almost no one
fixes them.

I use Terminal.app every day. It works fine for me.
The console emulation code comes directly from the Linux kernel.

That is a missing feature, not strictly a bug.

I use vim as my preferred console editor, I have no such problems it works
smooth.

I just tried and I can use man just fine here, no funny characters. I have
never seen your problem, sorry.
