I believe this is some issue with terminfo, since I see no hits for
the "xterm-direct" string in our sources.

** Emacs can support 24-bit color TTY without terminfo database.
If your text-mode terminal supports 24-bit true color, but your system
lacks the terminfo database, you can instruct Emacs to support 24-bit
true color by setting 'COLORTERM=truecolor' in the environment. This is
useful on systems such as FreeBSD which ships only with "etc/termcap".
*** Emacs will now use 24-bit colors on terminals that support "Tc"
capability.
This is in addition to previously-supported ways of discovering 24-bit
color support: either via the "RGB" or "setf24" capabilities, or if
the 'COLORTERM' environment variable is set to the value "truecolor".
Did you try the COLORTERM=truecolor setting?
