Bug#399789: xterm: does not honor ~/.Xdefaults

I upgraded from xterm-210-3.1 today and was disappointed to see that
uxterm no longer honors the settings I've saved in ~/.Xdefaults.
Specifically, I expect when starting up a uxterm that the backgronud
will be light, the foreground text will be black, and the font will be
large. Instead, I see what appears to be the default uxterm with a
small font and white text on a black background.
When I replace 'UXTerm' with 'XTerm' in my ~/.Xdefaults and run xterm,
I also do not see the expected behavior.
$ cat ~/.Xdefaults
