However, when I use the XTerm menu to change (as I do regularly)

I can reproduce this - looks like a bug. Essentially what's
happening is that the first time it's using the resource settings,
but the logic as I rewrote it around patch #181 (2003/10/26), lost
the value of the bold font in the menu logic.

but see the f_b=<null>, which tells me that it isn't using the
original bold resource (will have to study & fix that).

My trace shows me that colorAttrMode is initially off. Also colorBD
(which I assume you meant to set). Setting those, I do get color
for the bold attribute. So you can do that, and it should work.
(The bug is still a bug - I'll fix that).
