Um, maybe this is related to XFree problems in Debian/unstable?
Unstable's current XFree (4.2.1.1) "RENDER" extension (used for
anti-aliasing IIRC) takes a _lot_ of colors for it's own (rumors I
heared talked about > 200 IIRC) so generally, you won't be left with a
useable X in unstable (because with 8bit depth, there's only a hand full
of remaining colors available at all:)

Later X versions allow you to kill the RENDER extension so you'll get
your colors back. But until then...
