That's strange, it should take effect whenever you launch a new uxterm.
Do you run xterm on a different machine than your desktop?

The first two are definitely ignored, the third ought to work, I think.
However, I don't use Gnome and the only Wayland experience I ever had
was with Weston.

There will be nobody who tracks the issue if it remains assigned to
xterm, so that point is rather moot. You could file a wishlist bug for
mutter instead and link to the Gnome gitlab issue I gave you.
BTW, instead of reverseVideo you may want to set the Foreground and
Background resources.
