I'm using a stock Ubuntu 18.10 installation(although I'm using the openbox window-manager) in an Xorg display server session. When I fire up a gnome-terminal and type:
$ xclock -rv I get a reversed video xclock which has all hands visible and appears to be the 'reverse' of a standard xclock background color scheme. Please see the attached screenshot, if it will come through on launchpad's bug comments.
