That appears to be defined in lisp/term/xterm.el, so it will only be
loaded when TERM=xterm.  Currently this is not the case for me;
TERM=screen and outside that TERM=linux (I am on the kernel fbcon).
I believe that was also the case when I reported the original bug.

(I have not actually tested this yet, as that variable is not
available in the 23.3 I have to hand just now.)
