Aren't these 100% identical?  [Yes, there was another change, which I
deleted - I don't wish to comment on whether _that_ is a correct
change.]

This is not a bug; this is pilot error.  You should remove the "on", or
else change it to "off".  If you want to allow root network logins, you
just need the "secure"; trying to mark the line "on" will do exactly
what it's supposed to - try to run a getty on that line, and you've got
"none" specified as the getty, which will fail, as you saw.

This is a bug in tset, then, not termcap, I would say; tset has no
business overriding an already-set explicit size.
