Ah, yes, seems to be.  Now I get the reverse line with v149 and
uncoloured line with v88b (from XFree86 3.3.3.1b).

Thomas, what's the status here?  Setting the Foreground via resource
causes problems with SGR colour setting though it works OK just using -fg.
Is this expected/deliberate behaviour?  And reproducible for you?
I haven't tried v150 but didn't see anything in the log to indicate it
being altered/fixed.
