Hmm, what does the evaluating the following produce?  It should pop up a
buffer *bug29716* showing something like "background: rgb:ee00/e800/d500^[".

    (defun bug29716--report-background-handler ()
      (let ((str "")
            chr)
        ;; The reply should be: \e ] 11 ; rgb: NUMBER1 / NUMBER2 / NUMBER3 \e \\                           
        (while (and (setq chr (read-event nil nil 2)) (not (equal chr ?\\)))
          (setq str (concat str (string chr))))
        (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "*bug29716*")
          (insert (format "background: %s\n" str))
          (display-buffer (current-buffer)))))

    (xterm--query "\e]11;?\e\\"
                  '(("\e]11;" .  bug29716--report-background-handler)))

If that works, is it possible you didn't test the patch correctly?
(e.g., maybe you applied the patch, but didn't recompile?)

If it doesn't work, I'm a bit confused, given what you reported in #13.
