I didn't even think speedbar worked in -nw sessions.
In the manual I read that it does, but in a weird (IMO) way:

    When used in terminal mode, the new frame appears the same size as the
    terminal. Since it is not visible while working in the attached frame,
    speedbar will save time by using the @dfn{slowbar mode}, where no
    tracking is done until speedbar is requested to show itself (i.e., the
    speedbar's frame becomes the selected frame).

Maybe this explains some of what you see.

You have to use "speedbar-get-focus" to see it.

It seems odd that M-x speedbar has zero visible effect.
No message, no (visible) buffer created.
