This is a know (unresolved) bug in the Athena text widget.

Until this is fixed I suggest you use the following resources instead:

! If I am on a monochrome display then use reverse-video

#ifndef COLOR
      *Foreground:                            white
      *Background:                            black
      *BorderColor:                           white
#endif
