Re: tramp compilation buffer also affected

Actually, tramp-cleanup-... don't update the existing process-environment.
You need restart Emacs after customizing tramp-remote-process-environment.

It's easier to check whether TERM has the right value in Tramp by simply:

  M-x compile RET
  echo $TERM
  RET

For testing compilation highlighting, I just touch xterm.c and compile it,
because compilation of xterm.o always produces warnings:

  M-x compile RET
  touch xterm.c; TERM=ansi make xterm.o
  RET

It produces unhandled escape sequences in the compilation output buffer:

  touch xterm.c; TERM=ansi make xterm.o
    GEN      globals.h
    CC       xterm.o

But running compile with a prefix arg processes escape sequences and produces
nice output even when Tramp process-environment is not customized:

  C-u M-x compile RET
  touch xterm.c; TERM=ansi make xterm.o
  RET
