'msgflags' contains IMP_Flag_Base objects, but ONLY if they differ  
from the base objects.

To store using the msgflags preference, you can do something like this  
(which needs to be run in the IMP environment):

$msgflags = array();
foreach ($GLOBALS['injector']->getInstance('IMP_Flags') as $val) {
     if (!($val instanceof IMP_Flag_Imap_Seen)) {
         $val->bgcolor = '#fff';
         $msgflags[] = $val;
     }
}
$pref_value = serialize($msgflags);

Take the string value of $pref_value and use this as the 'value' field  
of the locked 'msgflags' preference.

Optionally, you can just directly hack the Flag objects and replace  
the default bgcolor values with '#fff' instead.
