I don't think so.  What ioctls are appropriate for certain devices is
determined by the kernel, but hardware related errors usually return
different error codes.

Yes, it looks normal on the emulator.  So the emulator doesn't emulate
your terminal exactly.  Try to interpret the sequences manually and see
which of them are interpreted differently.  I don't think I can discuss it
further because the problem doesn't seem to be related to GNU Midnight
Commander.
