colorMode doesn't work as specified

<colorMode>random</colorMode>

only works when no color is specified:

Should work as defined in the kml reference:
<colorMode>
Values for <colorMode> are normal (no effect) and random. A value of random 
applies a random linear scale to the base <color> as follows.
To achieve a truly random selection of colors, specify a base <color> of white 
(ffffffff).
If you specify a single color component (for example, a value of ff0000ff for 
red), random color values for that one component (red) will be selected. In 
this case, the values would range from 00 (black) to ff (full red).
If you specify values for two or for all three color components, a random 
linear scale is applied to each color component, with results ranging from 
black to the maximum values specified for each component.
The opacity of a color comes from the alpha component of <color> and is never 
randomized.
