If I use scr.subwin() instead of curses.newwin()...

y = 0
while True:
c = list.getch()

and scr.getch() instead of list.getch(), things seem to work. I'd still
really like to know what's going on though.

if c in (curses.KEY_UP, curses.KEY_DOWN, ord('z')):
list.addstr("Match!")
elif c == ord('q'):
break

curses.wrapper(main)
