That's expected, isn't it?  The Linux console only supports eight colors. 
Or do you have more colors when you run Emacs without fbterm?

That's not what I see here, hi-green is green (#00aa00).  I know there's a 
patch for fbterm somewhere which adds the possibility to modify the color 
palette.  Perhaps it's included in the fbterm included your distro, and 
somehow changes the appearance of the green color?

I guess you mean that the mode-line-inactive is indistinguishable from the 
mode-line face?  Is that different from what you seen when you run Emacs 
without fbterm?
