The option negotiation

SENT WILL TERMINAL TYPE
RCVD DO TERMINAL TYPE
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "CONS25"
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "ANSIS"
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "ANSI80X25"
RCVD IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE SEND
SENT IAC SB TERMINAL-TYPE IS "ANSI80X25"

is correct RFC-1091 behavior on the part of the telnet client.
The telnet server is apparently either not RFC-1091 compliant or
chooses not to pick the first-reported terminal type.

The easiest way to work around this is to remove all aliases
in your /usr/share/misc/termcap file; change it from

cons25|ansis|ansi80x25:\

to

cons25:\

and if you still want to have the ansis and ansi80x25 aliases, add entries
like

ansis:tc=cons25:
ansi80x25:tc=cons25:
