I realized my suggestion was nonsense just after posting anyway:-)
2>/dev/null just decides that nobody sees an error message.

This one should be safe:

  TB= TN=
  if test -t 1 2>/dev/null || test -n "`test -t 1 2>&1`" ; then
    TB="`$SHTOOL echo -e '%B' 2>/dev/null`"
    TN="`$SHTOOL echo -e '%b' 2>/dev/null`"
  fi

Sets the terminal escapes if test -t 1 returns failure and no output.
