sensor_colors do not apply to MEG channels even though it seems like they should. To me the behavior should be that the sensor_colors get applied to the channels in the order those channels show up in the instance, but currently they don't apply to MEG channels and they show up for each channel type (if there are multiple) in the same order.
While fixing this I'll probably turn off backface culling for MEG sensors, too, since planar magnetometers probably shouldn't disappear when they are viewed from behind...
