    Yet every R3 based server that I've layed hands on has returned "Success"
    to XGetStandardColormap() while the XStandardColormap struct info is all
    zero.

Haven't the time now to see if there's an R3 bug.  The following fails
correctly in our development system:

#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xatom.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>

main()
{
    Display *dpy;
    XStandardColormap cmap;
    dpy = XOpenDisplay(0);
    if (!XGetStandardColormap(dpy, DefaultRootWindow(dpy), &cmap, XA_RGB_BEST_MAP))
	printf("failed\n");
    XCloseDisplay(dpy);
    exit(0);
}

    It seems to me though that these are pretty closely tied to the server
    specifics and the Visuals that it supports.  Wouldn't it make sense for
    the server to create some of these?

I don't think so.
