David and Wim decided on that some time ago. I've never fully agreed on
this with them, but their idea was that 8-bit color formats needed to be
in byte order, not in host uint32 order. So always big-endian.

Oops, that's a bug. Can you file a bugzilla bug for that and attach a
patch please?

Thanks,
