Just an idea to try out: systemd creates console and getty service unit
instances for the terminals.  You can try to use systemctl edit and change
the TERM environment variables for s390 terminal devices to dumb.  The service
unit starts agetty and specifies the TERM as part of the command line.

With systemctl edit you simply create an overwrite of the service unit and
the change (or its full version) is then stored in /etc/systemd.

Hope that hint helps a bit.

Thanks and kind regards,
