1) I was more complaining about the fact that when the cursor is in the
scrollbar-region, all keyboard input is ignored.  Meaning, move the
cursor so that you can scroll.  Scroll up a panel if you want.  Then,
without moving the mouse again, type "Hello".  You won't see "Hello"
echoed in your xterm.

2) I found those two variables in the manpage, too.  But I thought that
the flags "-si" and "+sk" should do the same things that you are
suggesting to put in the .Xresources.  "-si" works, however, "+sk"
doesn't seem to work.  Am I wrong in thinking that "xterm +sk" is
broken?
