radeonkms console is grayscale

I decided to try out the new VT framebuffer console on a 10.2/amd64 server.  It works properly with VT+VGA, but after loading radeonkms all colored text (e.g. in vim, 'ls -G', etc.) is now just various shades of gray.  It does switch to a higher resolution and seems plenty fast, so the lack of color seems to be the only problem.  Loading radeonkms after boot vs. in loader.conf does not affect this problem.

Video hardware is the onboard ES1000 (aka RV100/Radeon 7000) on a Dell PowerEdge SC1435; the firmware loaded is radeonkmsfw_R100_cp.  pciconf output:
vgapci0 at pci0:0:4:0:	class=0x030000 card=0x01eb1028 chip=0x515e1002 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI'
    device     = 'ES1000'
    class      = display
    subclass   = VGA
    bar   [10] = type Prefetchable Memory, range 32, base 0xe0000000, size 134217728, enabled
    bar   [14] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0xcc00, size 256, enabled
    bar   [18] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xef9f0000, size 65536, enabled
    cap 01[50] = powerspec 2  supports D0 D1 D2 D3  current D0

I also tried an 11.0-current (r294912) live USB, which aside from using VT by default even in BIOS mode, has the same problem.  It boots in VGA mode with color, then after 'kldload radeonkms' everything is grayscale.

I do not have xorg installed at all, so apologies if this is the wrong list, but this seemed to be the place for kms issues.
