In bug#11883 you give this example

echo -e "\033[31mtest\033[39m"

but ansi-color has never supported SGR parameter 39.  However, before my
change (the latter commit above), any unknown parameter would have the
same effect as parameter 0 (turn off all rendition aspects), while it is
simply ignored now (well, except for an "Invalid face reference: nil"
message), see `ansi-color-apply-sequence'.  Perhaps, this explains the
problem.
