While this does not fix the issue, you might be able to work around this by configuring your X server to not use a pseudocolor 8bit visual. 256 colors are not used that often anymore.
Humm, but 1.6 and forward should support pseudo color.
Several months ago, this was working fine. Without any changes I am aware of, it seems to have just started happening.
