I suspect it's different on a tty because the tty color support is not
yet fully set up when Emacs is dumped, and/or because we dump in batch
mode.  Dan, could you please see if that guess is true?

If I'm right, one possible solution is to load font-lock at startup
instead of in loadup.

Btw, whatever solution we decide upon, we should make sure that
invoking Emacs with --colors switch does TRT, even if the argument to
this option is different from the default number of supported colors
(the one in effect at dump time).
