My guess as to why you get bold in blue would be the file
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
which contains (Red Hat 7.3):
! Enable Colour by default.

Now that is weird. Exactly the same colours as before?
I use Red Hat 7.3, with aterm as the terminal emulator.
Emacs is version 21.2 from the Red Hat RPM. $TERM is "xterm".
I can reproduce something of what you describe, in that if I start
Emacs in the way you specified, I get some coloured faces (eg for
bold). The colours seem fine to me, unless I do mildly sneaky things
like
xterm -fg black -bg white
which is the opposite to the colours I have specified via
~/.Xdefaults. Then the colours are not so good.
But if I set TERM to xterm-mono before starting Emacs, I get no
colour, except for the bold and underline colours I have specified in
~/.Xdefaults.
Do you have a file ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources? Either create one,
or add the following lines at the end of it. Then run `xrdb
~/.Xdefaults', then open a new xterm, and try Emacs in that.
XTerm*VT100*colorMode: false
XTerm*VT100*boldColors: false
XTerm*VT100*dynamicColors: false
XTerm*VT100*colorBDMode: false
XTerm*VT100*colorULMode: false
PS I guess you get this blue bold outside of Emacs as well. For
example, does `man man' give blue highlighting?
