What you're seeing is called the "alternate screen", when TERM=xterm
Emacs draws its frame in the alternate screen, leaving the original
screen alone. When TERM=vt100 then Emacs uses the original screen
buffer, which (as you've noticed) makes scrollback invisible. The
corresponding termcap entries are 'ti' and 'te'.
A Google search for "xterm alternate screen" should return plenty of
relevant results.
