I use tn5250 on Windows and don't have any problems with bold. 
Looking at the screen shot (thanks!) it appears as if you are seeing
the 'column separator' attribute.  On a colour terminal, the 5250
protocol doubles up some attributes.  So DSPATR(HI) becomes the colour
white and so on.  It works the same in reverse: COLOR(YLW) display
column separators.

Without looking at the DDS, I can't be certain what attributes are in
use.  I'm attaching a shot of my display from GO MAIN so you can
compare.  If that isn't helpful, perhaps we can try working with
common DDS to see how your copy renders compared to mine.
