Does anyone have any insight into the reason why the console driver
for SCO Xenix 2.2 no longer supports the ability to set the graphic
box foreground and background colors?

The setcolor(1) command has been enhanced to allow for additional
settings such as cursor size settings, bell pitch and duration
settings, and border color settings; and while it still shows support
for setting the graphic box colors, it doesn't work!

SCO are you listening?

By the way this is on a system with an EGA monitor, which under 2.1.3
supports this feature correctly.
