This is not a bug: 16 colors is not a standard color mode, so it is
not currently supported (the manual explains that, I hope).

This is a bug: when Emacs is started with --color=8, it should behave
as if only the 8 standard colors are available.  Could you please see
what changes the value returned by display-color-cells?  Something is
calling tty_setup_colors to reset to the default color mode (the one
that supports 256 colors).

TIA
