I believe that these are fixed by not using an incorrect termtype (e.g. 
'xterm-color', which refers to another terminal type altogether).

Hmmm.

Except that 'xterm-color' is widely used as a cap for an older (and 
incompatible) termtype, as stated in the PR.

And the author of xterm has widely criticised FreeBSD's incorrect 
handling of other attributes. To the point where he has documented the 
brokeness in his FAQ, and specifically advises to use the termcap 
supplied with 'xterm'. Again, as stated in the PR.

Specifically:
