See

        http://invisible-island.net/xterm/xterm.faq.html#grep_colors

(since the bug is most often reported for grep)

fwiw, I checked status on that yesterday, and gnome-terminal and konsole 
were the only programs on my machine that would behave as you expect. It 
is a bug in those applications.  As for grep, it's a shame that there's
no portable way to do what the implementor attempted to do.

Everthing else (Linux console, xterm, rxvt, pterm, mlterm) matches that
aspect of vt100-compatibility.
