Update: I've finally gotten around to resolving this. It turns out
that one of our internal systems was deliberately overriding the
COLOR_GRAYTEXT system color to be black. This was causing the
incorrect colors to be displayed with TortoiseSVN. We're in the middle
of correcting our system now.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
