Well, it's not a 32-bit display bug per se, but more of a "the code
hasn't been written to support it yet" kind of thing.

The code to create the proper colors out of the image bits has yet
to be written.  It changes as you go to each resolution, and
different types of images have them packed in different manners as
well.  It's a pain.
