Add
    \chardef\TeXtextcolormode\zerocount
to your document or cont-usr.tex.

(an alternative is to use \sometxt{\color[red]{something}})

Or even better: vote for it to become the default value before "color
stacks" are implemented (at least that's what I understood).

Hans had to add a feature and fix a little bug in \sometxt on my
request, but I don't understand why "one" is the default value now
either.
