You're not doing anything wrong; it was an Xorg/XFree86 assumption about
the value of $DISPLAY, ":0", ":0.0", "hostname:0" or the like.
("hostname:displaynumber.screennumber").  I think that this might be an
X11 requirement ...

On MacOS, it's a Unix-domain socket, used by launchd to dynamically
start up the X11 server when a client opens the socket, and hand off to
the running server.  From an X point of view, this should still have
been exposed as ":0" and the local transport could have been chosen
behind the scenes to be via a Unix-domain socket which triggers the
launchd behaviour.  Alas, Mac's are gratuitously different here.

How about:
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" || $DISPLAY == */* ]]; then
  termID="$VENDOR-$OSTYPE"
else
  termID="$DISPLAY"
fi
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
