You caught me.  The problem is not related to 8 bit color, per se.  Rather,
I was a little too clever in my attempt to avoid changing the video mode.
How clever you ask?  So clever that I forgot to change the video mode if the
desired display depth was different than the current display depth.

I've got a fix, but I don't know if I'll release tonight... it is time for
bed.

I added a check to see if MapWindowPoints was working, as blitting when
MapWindowPoints failed may be causing crashes.  Now I can see that
MapWindowPoints is sometimes failing, so I'll have to look into the problem.
Thanks for the bug report, but don't expect an immediate fix, as this may
take awhile to dig into.

I have no idea :(  Like I have said before, I am a terrible X user.
