I have something similar if I serve to my wintel box (running exceed) from
my SS5.  RGB gets interpreted (for some reason) as BGR unless,
as you note, they're xpixmaps.

Funnily enough, I don't get this problem with my SS5, but I have had it
happen.

ULTRALinux/sparc would behave the same way natively, I might add...
