I just had another thought.  I wonder if it's tpu-edt that's changed. 
If you look at the current tpu-edt.el (in 
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.92/lisp/emulation), it says:

But, according to 'man emacs', the purpose of the -nw switch is to "Tell 
  Emacs not to use its special interface to X."  So maybe you're trying 
to do two contradictory things, and maybe it was different with older 
versions of tpu-edt.  I'm just speculating.

Out of curiosity, is there some reason why you need to use the -nw 
switch when you run emacs?
