Okay, you're trying to set the bg mode, but did it work?  Hm.  It
might be too late.

Or you could try to add the background-mode parameter to the
initial-frame-alist, too, instead of only default-frame-alist.

Try C-h v frame-background-mode RET -- what does it say?

What does M-: (frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'background-mode) RET say?
