Well, again, if you special case 0/0/0 or 255/0/255 doesn't matter. One
is missing now, one with the patch. Only what looks better should count.
And this conversion has nothing to do with the conversion taking place
in blit() - it is solely for when your Allegro program runs in
15/16-bit, but the desktop is 24/32-bit. So I think the above case
wouldn't be affected anyway.

Well, we currently have no code for that..
