I get the following:

C-u M-: (environment) RET

("PATH=/usr/local/texlive/2005/bin/i386-linux:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"
"TERMINFO_DIRS" "TERMCAP" "NCURSES_NO_SETBUF" "NCURSES_ASSUMED_COLORS"
"HOME=/home/dak" "COLUMNS" "LC_ALL" "LANG=en_US.UTF-8"
"MAILHOST=fencepost.gnu.org"
"TEXINPUTS=.:/usr/local/emacs-21/share/emacs/site-lisp/preview/latex:"
"GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID=Default"
"GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-ZprRPl/socket"
"SESSION_MANAGER=local/lola:/tmp/.ICE-unix/5904"
"GTK_RC_FILES=/etc/gtk/gtkrc:/home/dak/.gtkrc-1.2-gnome2"
"DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-c5o8W5Kz0G,guid=e768e7262a51bc0ce774130046386332"
"SSH_AGENT_PID=6226" "SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-uzAAcD5904/agent.5904"
"EDITOR=/usr/local/emacs-21/bin/emacsclient -n --alternate-editor vi"
"PWD=/home/dak" "TEXDOCVIEW_html=( firefox %s ) &"
"GS_OPTIONS=-sPAPERSIZE=a4 " "GDMSESSION=default" "SHELL=/bin/bash"
"TEXDOCVIEW_pdf=( xpdf %s ) &" "XAUTHORITY=/home/dak/.Xauthority"
"DISPLAY=:0.0" "GDM_LANG=en_US.UTF-8" "USERNAME=dak" "LOGNAME=dak"
"GDM_XSERVER_LOCATION=local"
"VISUAL=/usr/local/emacs-21/bin/emacsclient -n --alternate-editor vi"
"NEWSSERVER=news.t-online.de" "DESKTOP_SESSION=default"
"BROWSER=firefox" "USER=dak" "LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8" "CVS_RSH=ssh")

And in a Window initiated from emacsclient (no -t) very much the same
except for:
 "OLDPWD=/home/tmp/emacs" "_=/usr/local/emacs-21/bin/emacsclient"
 "COLORTERM=gnome-terminal" "WINDOW=1" "SHLVL=2" "PWD=/home/tmp"
 "STY=17353.pts-0.lola" "WINDOWID=41943133")

So the funny thing is that some environment variables appear to make
it through emacsclient, but the termcap related stuff doesn't.  And
the ones that make it are seemingly those which don't exist in the
other session (and it is very strange that some seem to exist as just
the environment variable names without "=" and a value).

Messy.
