i did another test following Yukihiro Nakadaira example

:set background?
background=light
:set background=dark
:set background?
background=dark
:hi Normal ctermfg=grey ctermbg=234
:set background?
background=light
:hi Normal ctermfg=grey ctermbg=0
:set background?
background=dark

so it seems &background is changed according to the value of ctermbg. but I'd 
risk saying it behaves the wrong way, because cterm 234 is indeed a dark grey :p
