Looking at this a bit more, I'm going to guess that the problem is that
on consoles, Emacs doesn't have enough colours to display this stuff
sensibly.

What does (display-color-cells) return for you?

If this is the case, we could fix this issue with something like the
patch below.

diff --git a/lisp/net/shr.el b/lisp/net/shr.el
