I believe it's important to distinguish term from comint: the reason why
external programs sometimes want to check is EMACS=t (or now INSIDE_EMACS=t)
is because they need to adjust to the peculiar way comint interacts with
its inferior process: on the one side it's interactive, but on the other it
sends whole commands at a time (the inferior process doesn't get to see
keystrokes).
OTOH term.el interacts with its inferior processes pretty much like xterm or
any other terminal emulator would.
So I think setting EMACS to t in comint and to something different (namely
<version>) in term was no mistake.
