I hadn't tried, because I misunderstood Liam's suggestion. I've tried 
now and you're right, issuing

:set bg=dark

turns the "default" colorscheme into the same colors as "ron", at least 
as long as my bash scripts are concerned.

However, if I delete $HOME/.vimrc (so no :colorscheme command) and then 
switch to VT2 (no Xorg running there) I have a dark background just like 
my xfce4-terminal, but ":colorscheme default" does not assume a light 
background there and it does not use dark colors: it keeps the light 
colors (same colors of "ron", just to be clear). That leads me to think 
there's something in my xfce4-terminal that confuses the default 
colorscheme and that makes it assume a light background even if it's black.

What makes vim or the default colorscheme detect the dark/light background?
