None of them exist that I know of -- I usually key in color bar tests as needed and then when I'm happy with GR and HGR, I launch Airheart because it comes right up with a full gamut of DHGR colors, making it pretty easy to see obvious mistakes
I'm not sure if it is Antoine's site (probably is) where I found Chat Mauve DHGR screens and a loader. Those made it pretty quick for me to validate that mode as well.
All in all, I like your idea but I don't think there is a good video diagnostic disk as such. It would need to have some half-shift tests for example if you have the hi-bit set on one HGR byte and the rightmost pixel is on, and then the next byte is simply 00, then that pixel actually gets chopped in half because of the hi-bit change. So anything that can provide a test pattern in that much detail would probably be the bee's knees!!
