What if it is talking to that console via ssh?
Then Emacs won't know, and will fall back on generic terminal code. However, the case that prompted this thread is where part of Emacs does know and part does not, and the mismatch causes a problem. I'm proposing that different parts of Emacs treat Linux consoles more consistently.
