And here is a minimal patch to enable 256 colors under fbterm:

diff --git a/lisp/term/fbterm.el b/lisp/term/fbterm.el
new file mode 100644
index 0000000000..bf12b5ed97
--- /dev/null
+++ b/lisp/term/fbterm.el

+;;; fbterm.el  -*- lexical-binding:t -*-

+
+(defun terminal-init-fbterm ()
+  "Terminal initialization function for fbterm."
+  (xterm-register-default-colors xterm-standard-colors))
+
+(provide 'term/fbterm)

Eli, what else would you recommend to add in that file?  I think 
(tty-no-underline)?  And how can I check whether compositions should be 
disabled, that is, if they confuse cursor movement?
