Yeah, this was an unpleasant surprise for me when I started using a Macbook for some coding. My 256 color vim color scheme (desert256, highly recommended!) would just blink repeatedly until I typed in t_Co=8 ... never thought moving from a Linux machine to a Mac would mean decreasing your colors!

Unfortunately AFAIK it seems OS X's Terminal.app doesn't support 256 colors.
Have you tried using an X11.app terminal instead of Terminal.app terminal? That may have different/better results.
