How is it clear?  Can you tell what led you to that conclusion?

In the TTY case, what display-color-cells returns is what the
terminfo/termcap interface tells it.  Maybe there's some bug in the
code which determines that, which is around line 4120 in term.c.
Could you please step through that with a debugger, and see if
something goes wrong there during the terminal initialization phase?
