Emacs sees only 8 of fbterm's 256 colors.

Running emacs with fbterm yields only 8 colors, even though 'tput
colors' returns 256. $TERM is set to 'fbterm', and I confirmed that
there is an fbterm terminfo file in the usual location.

The same install of emacs does see 256 colors when working with a 256
color xterm, with $TERM set to xterm-256color.

Any idea why emacs does not see all the colors available, or how to
fix it?

FYI, fbterm is a terminal emulation that uses the framebuffer driver
in Linux. It does not use X at all. It's found at 
http://code.google.com/p/fbterm/
and can be installed on many Linux distros.
