It seems odd. > 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)
