??? Where did you see them defined to 2 and 3?  I see -2 and -3:

    /* Color index indicating that face uses an unknown foreground color.  */

    #define FACE_TTY_DEFAULT_FG_COLOR ((unsigned long) -2)

    /* Color index indicating that face uses an unknown background color.  */

    #define FACE_TTY_DEFAULT_BG_COLOR ((unsigned long) -3)

This is with today's CVS.

tty-colors.el is activated for _all_ colors (where else do you want
Emacs to get RGB values of terminal colors? the terminal does not tell
us, so we need to invent the values), but it does generate 65535 for
white, as you can see yourself.
