I understand this.

But all other faces are correctly set for example, those in org.el. If I
set the spec to:

(defface dictem-database-description-face
  '((((background light)) (:weight bold :foreground "darkblue"))
    (((background dark))  (:weight bold :foreground "white")))

  "The face that is used for displaying a database description"
  :group 'dictem-faces)

It will initialize correctly in both xterm and X.

Seems there is a bug in Emacs.
