This is probably due to all the Windows stuff they put in, which messed
up the memory-mapped text display modes in a number of places I had to
dig some source out of 3.11c to fix a highlighting problem for
non-color, memory mapped text displays -- I'm not sure why they decided
to cripple these older style displays since that code is #ifdef'd inline
so it would have impacted the Windows stuff.

I'm not going to have any time to look into this soon, but if someone
else does and finds a solution, let me know and I'll be happy to roll it
into the next IIGS release.
