increased intensity ANSI code no longer working

Description
With the upgrade to the latest Gnome, I unfortunately noticed a problem with gnome-terminal. I've been using \e[01m to easily see where the prompt is. Wikipedia describes this as:
"Bold or increased intensity"
Previously vte implemented this as "bold and increased intensity". As my primary goal was the intensity, this was quite sufficient. The new version unfortunately only does bold, breaking my usage. :(
I can't really find an alternative plan here. AFAICT, no other escape code will give me a bright color that is agnostic as far as the current color. Since I use the same $PS1 with various terminals in various configurations, this is rather essential.
So please bring back the old behaviour. :)
