Sounds like you may have stumbled upon Apple's Top Secret next feature,
coming to an OS near you.

A similar kind of intermittent quasi-bug happened to me plenty back in
10.2.7 & 8 with desktop icons among others. It turned out in 10.3 Exposee
made a feature out of those very bugs...

After all, the folder/file colors haven't changed since OS 9, they're
probably screaming for an overhaul and it wouldn't surprise me to see
systemwide "Categories" assignable to all objects similar to what Entourage
has.

I'm sure we'll hear about it at Macworld Boston in July.
