@Diag looks like too heavy a gunnery, especially since you are not
using any of diag features :-).  Try rewriting it like

    def @ReverseChapHead
      left number
      right title
    {
      1.3c @High 17.0c @Wide {
        { 0.265625 0.265625 0.265625 setrgbcolor } @SetColour {
          @Box paint { nochange }
              white @Colour { 2f @Font number }
        }
        //0.5c title
      }
    }

And see what happens.  Note, I rewrote it rather mechanically and
hadn't tested it.  I'll try to test it tomorrow when I'll get to my
graphic display.
