Actually that (the -f option) is an incorrect test of the feature.
Eterm's changelog does mention the change:

Applied a patch from Fredrik Svensson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for 256-color
support (a la xterm). I also renamed and imported a couple of his
test scripts into utils/, and in playing around with them, I found and
fixed an X server resource leak. Use Etpalette to view the 256-color
palette.
The appropriate change to ncurses (if Eterm does not supply the data)
would be to add an "Eterm-256color" entry.
