In Emacs-23, the $TERM value with which Emacs was started is fairly
quickly thrown away so that no subprocess will inherit it (after all,
Emacs has no way to run a process and give it access to the tty in which
Emacs is running).

Can you try again with the Emacs-23 pretest to confirm that the bug
is fixed?
