Probably because your .emacs turns on some faces (font-lock?).

Yes, AFAIK.

IIRC, if configure decides you have a good libncurses, it defines
TERMINFO in config.h.  That definition then causes Emacs to use
terminfo.

Make sure your libncurses is visible to the compiler/linker when they
build programs.  If you cannot figure this out, looking at config.log
might help (search for "=lncurses" and look near that spot for error
messages printed by the compiler/linker).
