I did some more investigation, and discovered the cause of my woes with
emacs and telnet. From ancient history, I have
stty tabs
in my .cshrc/.login sequence.
It's the tab expansion which is causing the problems with emacs and
(re)display.
I don't know why it (almost?) never fails via rlogin. I can get it to
fail directly on the dialed-in line on the PMAX/Ultrix machine, so it's
most definitely the tab expansion.
Maybe a note somewhere (stock answers? release notes? I dunno) to
explain the problem might alleviate others' concerns/problems.
I'll flush the stty tabs; mark this problem resolved, but perhaps
needing documentation support.
