Why is the current behavior TRT?  You are already choosing to ignore
gtk_selection_fg_color under some (arbitrarily hard-coded)
circumstances.

So if you care about obeying gtk_selection_fg_color, why not just set it
to :foreground?  When gtk_selection_bg_color is in use, we might as well
use gtk_selection_fg_color with it.  Users who want a region background
color that works properly with font lock might as well disable the GTK
selection color stuff (it's unfortunate that it's the default, but oh
well).
