Comment(by vinc17@…):

 As said by Thomas Dickey, Eterm-color (with a capital E) is for another
 terminal and should not be used with Emacs. With previous ncurses
 versions, it was used by mistake under Mac OS X. Note that this bug is
 fixed upstream in patch 20081129 from [ftp://invisible-
 island.net/ncurses/5.7/]:
 {{{
 +20081129
 [...]
 +       + add eterm-color entry (report by Vincent Lefevre) -TD
 }}}
 A temporary workaround is to get these terminfo data and install them in
 one's home directory with tic.
