Hans found it. Therefore one has to use the non-direct variant e. g. for changing color in text, which results in tedious transforms. The trivial patch seems to solve this. Now it's possible to define color "direct". See the test.pdf file. Actually i don't understand at all what the patch does, but it seemed to be the only place where the literal interferes with position calculations. It seems that the patch does not mangle the horizontal positioning calculation; see the placement of the \vrule after the ET, which is independent from whether \pdfliteral direct is used or not. Rough patch. Tests welcome.
