Yes, it does happen, I have non-color menus. That's because nconfig also mixes 
wide ncurses library with non wide ncurses headers.

  gcc -Wp,-MD,scripts/kconfig/.nconf.o.d -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-
prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer   -I/usr/include/ncurses -
DCURSES_LOC="<ncurses.h>" -DLOCALE   -c -o scripts/kconfig/nconf.o 
scripts/kconfig/nconf.c

/usr/include/ncurses is non wide version of ncurses headers (but on other 
distros it could be done differently aka /usr/include/ncures being wide 
version)

  gcc  -o scripts/kconfig/nconf scripts/kconfig/nconf.o 
scripts/kconfig/zconf.tab.o scripts/kconfig/nconf.gui.o -lncursesw -lmenu -
lpanel -lncurses

and here it's linked to non wide version of library (also to wide, too due to 
scripts/kconfig/lxdialog/check-lxdialog.sh putting it here)

Anyway way to solve this is:
- detect if ncurses header is wide or non-wide
- link with proper ncurses library based on detected header
