Video Mode is the only system option without a default, so a frontend that uses the options' defaults gets the first value, Color (RGB Card/Monitor). This sets it to Color TV, the same as VT_DEFAULT in the desktop build.

I noticed because The Dark Crystal (Sierra) shows coloured bands rolling up the screen at its "insert disk #1, side B" prompt in RGB mode. Left is the current default, right is with this change, both running on the core's own defaults:

I can't tell whether the bands are what an RGB card would really do with this game or something in the RGB emulation, so this only changes the default.

Video Mode was the only system option without a default, so frontends
took the first value, Color (RGB Card/Monitor). Use Color TV, the same
as VT_DEFAULT in the desktop build.

I saw the same yesterday and I was blaming my first ubuntu 26.04 build, but now it deserves an investigation.
