sg#0 does not confuse GNU Emacs.  Be careful about
removing it!

sg#0 says that standout-on/off output magic cookies
of width 0, that remain fixed on the screen, and
that text following a turn-on cookie is in standout mode.

If sg is not used, it says that standout-on/off sequences
control a mode in the terminal which affects characters
when they are output.

As far as I can tell, both kinds of terminals exist.
If a termcap entry has sg#0, either it is there erroneously
or it is necessary.
