Works for me with both Lucid and GTK builds of the current trunk.

emacs -Q                            ;  background is white
M-x load-theme RET manoj-dark RET   ;  background is black

Does it work in emacs -Q for you?
Do you have a system theme that imposes a colour?

The information that M-x report-emacs-bug provides might be useful.
