Nothing I do seems to have any effect on this -- .Xdefaults, editing the term/xterm.el file, etc -- with the exception of running emacs -nw -q --no-site-file and then eval-ing the contents of .emacs (and .gnus) separately. I've put a (debug) as the last statement of .emacs and the colour change happens a few statements after it loads term/xterm -- however, it's in byte-code so it's hard to see what's going on.
