Here's what the man page says:
-rv This option indicates that reverse video should be

If that's not what is happening, I suggest you mention it to Thomas
(CC'd).
Right. With -rv (or without any [-+]rv) you get the fg and bg colors
specified on the command line; with +rv they are swapped. Expected
behavior is that -rv swaps the fg and bg and +rv doesn't, i.e. the
opposite of what actually happens.
(And my friend acked the official bug report, so hopefully it won't b
e lost.)
