I found the problem.  Viper loads advice, which loads help-fns.el, which
defines the `help-argument-name' face.  In daemon mode, this causes this
face to be defined out of order, before the foreground and background
colors are initialized.  This can be solved by moving
`help-argument-name' into faces.el.

I've checked the fix into CVS trunk.
