It's quite possible that it's a bug in the UNC readline implementation proper. 
How do you set the background to white?  Is this something that can be done for
the normal winxp terminal, or do you use a different terminal emulator?

I'd like to have more detailed info before I contact the readline author.  He's
done a great job of providing ANSI-compliant color escape handling for the
piece of junk which MS ships as a terminal, but it's quite possible that he may
have missed something for the case of light backgrounds.
