And what do you say about code that expects that a face's
`foreground' attribute actually reflects the face's current
foreground appearance?  Silence on that question, so far.

When examining attribute `foreground' tells you nothing about
the foreground, and changing the attribute value turns silently
into a no-op, I'd say that something basic has been broken.
