...the "fairly" carving out an exception for at least this bug and bug
#61455.

But it was a deliberate implementation decision that I see has been around for
over 20 years ([http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/groff.git/commit/?id=e30e96cf
commit e30e96cf]), so I reckon some people have found it useful.  Without a
way to query a terminal's color scheme, blindly hard-coding a background color
would seem to have limited utility, but users can always change fore- and
background colors in tandem.

Right.  It's obvious when you point out the obvious.  :-O

Great!  I'll try to find time to run a build next week to try it out.
