Well, gnome-terminal does combine bold with colors (I looked at the 'gnome' terminfo entry and retested gnome terminal in case I'd missed this detail). Perhaps you're specifying a $TERM that says it does not. In that case (based on the 'ncv' value in terminfo), ncurses would rather set colors than bold or other conflicting attribute. > When I ssh from my solaris 8 box to my home machine, color works > correctly (including yellow).

Does ssh pass through your $TERM settings? (It depends on the configuration, does sometimes, and sometimes not, so it would default to something like vt100, leaving vim to rely on its builtin tables). > Anyone seen that before?
