That would be caused by the GNUTERM method never actually going through 
the process of calling term->init() and/or term->options() for that 
terminal, I think.  Or maybe the affected terminals fail to initialize
things correctly, and that was never noticed because they're never 
usually the startup default terminal.

I'm slightly off base currently (moved for a job, and haven't fully 
settled in yet), so it may take a while before I can get a closer look.
