That fact doesn't help with the above in any useful way. If the Emacs
behavior have changed in some subtle ways since those versions, then
palette.el should have followed suit.
What I see in the failed code is quite clear: palette.el is asking
Emacs to do the impossible. Why that happens is for the developer of
palette.el to investigate and tell. It could be that eventually this
will lead to an Emacs bug, but in that case the bug should be found
where it really is and demonstrated to clearly indicate it's a core
bug, ideally without external packages at all.
