That in an xterm you also get the above result is probably because you start xterm from within xfce4-terminal? If you start it like this: 'env --unset=COLORTERM xterm', the output of the above command will no longer contain COLORTERM, right? And if you start another xfce4-terminal within that xterm, it will be set again? The 'env | grep -i term' on a pantheon-terminal gives just "TERM=xterm". On a Konsole too. So it looks feasible to make Ctrl+Left and Ctrl+Right work correctly on an xfce4-terminal without interfering with a pantheon-terminal or gnome-terminal. But it doesn't look possible for a KDE Konsole (if a modern Konsole produces different codes still from a pantheon or xfce).
