The XOR mode is documented as follows:

<<Pixels that are of colors other than those two colors are changed in
an unpredictable but reversible manner; if the same figure is drawn
twice, then all pixels are restored to their original values.>>

This means to me, that the 'color bug' might actually not be a bug. As
long as drawing something twice reverses the effect, this should be ok.
AFAICS the XOR mode is primarily used for highlighting stuff (like
selecting a part of an image in a graphics application), the important
thing is that drawing something twice reverses the first drawing
operation. The actual color doesn't matter much.
