The manual says "... 8, 16, 88, or 256 as the value of NUM"

Nothing tries to reset to the default color mode, it looks like
xterm-register-default-colors is called before tty_setup_colors,
so display-color-cells returns the default 256.

When set_tty_color_mode is called:
(gdb) xbacktrace 
"modify-frame-parameters"
"frame-notice-user-settings"
"command-line-1"
"command-line"
"normal-top-level"

if you look in `command-line', the call to  `command-line-1' is a
few lines after the code that loads the term/xterm.el file.
