It's not a bug that I know of, and it works fine here. But let
me add some things to consider at your end. Intensity during terminal
emulation tries to follow your DOS screen, in that a DOS bold white on
blue screen shows the remote host text also bold white on blue unless the
host says otherwise. That's equivalent to DEC dim white on black, or
DEC "normal." If the host says do a bold operation then MSK flips intensity
and you see dim but that's now DEC "bold." All this to look nice initially.
So the results depend on how you got started and what the host said as
well as what you said. [This reads like one of those intelligence tests
where Mary is 5 years older than Jane was before Jane stopped counting.]
The other mention is it could be that screen color sequencing
in your startup files overrides the lines you added, so try moving yours
around to double check.
