Selection color does not properly apply to colored text

What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Run something like echo -e "(tput setaf 6)here is some text(tput sgr0)"
- Select the text with the mouse
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: The text foreground changes to the color specified in the configuration.
Actual: The text foreground remains the same, becoming hard to read
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
-iTerm 1.0.0.20120123 on Mac OS 10.6.8
Please provide any additional information below.
An alternate way of solving this problem is to give the option for a "smart select", where the selection itself is just an inversion of the foreground and background colors, just like the "smart cursor". I will file an enhancement request for that if needed.
