Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the problem is that the
XPM-library is allocating colours without hooks for adding behaviour
like this.

Oh no, you can't free them... Start crossfire, start xv, enter new map
with colourful scenery == server crash... :-)

Mark, you did specify a list of 28 colours which should be used in
XPM-files. Do you think the graphics deviate from this? (shouldn't be
too hard to check, actually...)
