Details

The tests in /etc/bash.bashrc (core/bash/system.bashrc) only match a few most commonly used terminal types.

It's not a problem for me at all, but if we have bash4, why not use its features? (See attachment.)

Should this be higher priority now? urxvt-unicode package defaults to 256 color now, so $TERM = rxvt-unicode-256color, this must be affecting a lot more users.

If this gets fixed it will more likely be removing that entire section rather than making it more general.

Fine by me anyway, as long as PROMPT_COMMAND gets set - why did it check the term in the first place?
