Jun 5, 2014 at 17:50 comment added Neil Epstein @Ketil Assuming the field isn't of characteristic 2, the above is not a counterexample, since $(x+y)^2 = 2xy \neq 0$, so $t \neq 2$.
Jun 5, 2014 at 7:46 comment added Ketil Tveiten It may be too early in the morning for this, but isn't $k[[x,y]]/(x^2,y^2)$ a counterexample? Here $\mathfrak{m}=(x,y)$, so $\mathfrak{m}^2=(xy)\neq 0$ (i.e. $e>2$), but $x^2=y^2=0$ (i.e. $t=2$).
