The forth bit of the background color is the blink property bit, not the
intensity bit, as for the foreground color.
Therefore it shouldn't be included in the background color.

I'm a bit skeptical, though I have not tried this.
ISTR fb has the power to render full 8 bits background
in addition to blinking.

If you look at the build_attr function in drivers/char/vt.c you can see
that the blink attribute is stored as the forth bit of the background color.
I tried the patches with both an ncurses application and manually using:
echo -en '\E[5m'
and they seems to work fine.
