Answering myself:

With the default TERM=linux, localechooser behave as expected on
PowerPC/MacMiniG4

# localechooser

However with TERM=bterm, localechooser behave in some sort of inverted
(byte-swap?) red is blue background:

# bterm -f /lib/unifont.bgf localchooser

Hopefully this is the last time I re-assign this bug.

Thanks
