I think the TERM thing is related to remotes that have shell dotfiles that
change "xterm" to "xterm-256color" or etc. (this is usually safe for Linux
but can get you in trouble as soon as any other OS becomes involved)

LANG is its own bunch of headaches. Especially since various versions of OS
X have weird locale processing that can leave the shell thinking LANG=C, or
differences between locale names that cause remotes to fallback to LANG=C.
