The default could come from a different 'background' setting but
experiment shows that current Vim 7.3 sets the Visual highlight to
cterm=reverse in both cases (you _are_ using the same Vim version on all
these terminals aren't you?)

To see where that highlight was last set, use

:verbose hi Visual

Vim will then tell you if that highlight was last set from a script or
(unlikely) a modeline. If it was set by you typing ex-commands at the
keyboard, or by Vim factory defaults, it won't tell you where it was
set, because if it was you you should now, and if factory defaults it
was "never set".

Best regards,
Tony.
