i use half a dozen (mostly MS Windows, mostly under Remote Desktop) PCs
at work, and have seen foreground/background modeline colours swapped --
on *some* of them; they all use almost identical .emacs; this "feature"
has been around for a while (probably since version 22.x) if indeed it
is an Emacs feature and not a configuration problem;
i've never had a closer look and just used a manually set variable in
.emacs to swap the modeline colours
(not much help, i know)
