I had a feeling this was going to turn out to be your problem after
remembering having seen this myself.

You need to change the values of the following X resources:

  XTerm*colorBD: White
  XTerm*colorUL: Yellow
  XTerm*colorBDMode: True
  XTerm*colorULMode: True


You can either set the Mode resources to false, or change the colors of
the other two.
