This is happens after exiting a command which uses some colors with index greater than 15. For example, run Vim (making sure it recognizes the 256-color capabilities), set a non-default colorscheme (solarized, maybe). Now, exit Vim and run `man ls`. You will notice that some text still has the background from Vim's colorscheme.
Looks like the bug is related to ncurses commands: Vim followed by man's pager (less?). But not sure if the bug is in ncurses or really in libvte.
