Right, I was thinking that maybe qterminal was actually looking at the
value of TERM when it starts and deciding to emulate the type of
terminal found there.  But I haven't looked to see.  If that's not the
case, then I agree that it should set TERM to match it's
capabilities.  It doesn't make sense to me that it would accept
arbitrary TERM values and then emulate something else.
