I knew you could do it! And I'm glad I was barking up the right tree!
(It makes me look like I know my stuff ;-) )

Carefull experimentation, and browsing in the 2.4.25 and xfree86 sources
has shown:

1) in radeon_accel.c, calling cfb_fillrect() in radeonfb_fillrect makes
the problem go away, but this disables (part of) the accelerated
routines.

void radeonfb_fillrect(struct fb_info *info, const struct fb_fillrect
*region)
{
        struct radeonfb_info *rinfo =3D info->par;
        struct fb_fillrect modded;
        int vxres, vyres;

        if (info->state !=3D FBINFO_STATE_RUNNING)
                return;
-        if (radeon_accel_disabled()) {
+        if (1 || radeon_accel_disabled()) {
                cfb_fillrect(info, region);
                return;
        }

2) in 2.4.25, there is something different about the color handling. In
particular, radeonfb.c:rectfill() operates on clr, where clr is defined
differently, depending on the color-depth of the display:

#ifdef FBCON_HAS_CFB32
static void fbcon_radeon32_clear(struct vc_data *conp, struct display
*p,
                               int srcy, int srcx, int height, int
width)
{
        struct radeonfb_info *rinfo =3D (struct radeonfb_info
*)(p->fb_info);
        u32 clr;

        clr =3D ((u32 *)p->dispsw_data)[attr_bgcol_ec(p, conp)];

        srcx *=3D fontwidth(p);
        srcy *=3D fontheight(p);
        width *=3D fontwidth(p);
        height *=3D fontheight(p);

        radeon_rectfill(rinfo, srcy, srcx, height, width, clr);
}

essentially, p_dispsw_data contains for a given 8-bit color value x

x | (x << 8) | (x << 16) | (x << 24)

so 0x07 becomes 0x07070707

3) If I adapt 2.6's radeon_accel.c:radeonfb_prim_fillrect() like this:

static void radeonfb_prim_fillrect(struct radeonfb_info *rinfo,
                                   const struct fb_fillrect *region)
{
        int color;

        radeon_fifo_wait(4);

        OUTREG(DP_GUI_MASTER_CNTL,
                rinfo->dp_gui_master_cntl  /* contains, like
GMC_DST_32BPP */
                | GMC_BRUSH_SOLID_COLOR
                | ROP3_P);
        color =3D region->color | (region->color << 8);
        color =3D color | (color << 16);
        OUTREG(DP_BRUSH_FRGD_CLR, color);
        OUTREG(DP_WRITE_MSK, 0xffffffff);
        OUTREG(DP_CNTL, (DST_X_LEFT_TO_RIGHT | DST_Y_TOP_TO_BOTTOM));

        radeon_fifo_wait(2);
        OUTREG(DST_Y_X, (region->dy << 16) | region->dx);
        OUTREG(DST_WIDTH_HEIGHT, (region->width << 16) |
region->height);
}

my problem is solved. Previously, it just read

        OUTREG(DP_BRUSH_FRGD_CLR, region->color);

This is obviously a hack, and only works in 32-bits color.=20

I would be interested in the view of the maintainer. If this is the
right solution, do you want a patch that tries to fix this?

Thanks everyone for mailing back-and-forth, and testing. Please test if
this fixes the problem on your radeon-machine as well, if possible.
