I believe Chuck changed the default value for XORValue.

The reason why some people have this problem is that it will most
likely give you the correct behavior on PseudoColor visuals, while it
will it will probably give you incorrect results on a TrueColor
visual, since for PseudoColor it works on the colormap entries while
for TrueColor it works on the color bits so you need to give it a
pretty high number (I use XORValue 65535, mostly 1s).
