"emacs -q -nw -bg blue" does the same.  That is, the way you specify the 
color does not matter; it's the fact that you specified only one of the 
two colors that matters.

This is a semi-misfeature, at least on some terminals, due to the way the 
mode line is handled on color terminals.  For now, simply specify both 
fore- and background, never one of them.
