I can't imagine that working. Logically speaking, that should be bolding the 
background, not the foreground.

What I've been using worked for well over a decade.

I think what's order dependent is a bug in the rewrite to require the double 
hyphen where previously a single did the job. I tried this:

	setterm --background blue --foreground white --bold --blank 59 --store

That moved the error:

	setterm: argument error: --blank
