Agreed, the passwords in NTLMv2 are encrypted but not the telnet session.

Telnet is telnet.  The protocol itself is unencrypted.  The only way to 
encrypt the protocol is to tunnel it via SSL or some VPN type of software.

But telnet, as it is shipped with Win2K (both client and server) is 
clear text.

While this is not 3DES or RC4, it is still not plain text.
