What if that character has a non-default foreground color?  If we
disregard it, all the characters will look the same when under the
cursor, regardless of their original face.

Besides, this is different from every other place in Emacs where we
have more than one source for face information: we always merge all
the faces.

So I cannot say I like this proposal.
