I don't see any bug here.  The "test" string inserted into the buffer
has a background different from `highlight', but that's because its
background is not unspecified:

(defface fringe
  '((((class color) (background light))
     :background "grey95")
    (((class color) (background dark))
     :background "grey10")
    (t
     :background "gray"))
  "Basic face for the fringes to the left and right of windows under X."
  :version "21.1"
  :group 'frames
  :group 'basic-faces)
