That was only true of FrameMaker versions through 7.x.  As of FrameMaker 8.0, text that has multiple conditions applied is displayed in a color that is the average of the indicator colors for all of the conditions. No more magenta text (unless you like magenta and define a condition to use it as the indicator color). But the downside of this is that FrameMaker automatically adds to the color catalog for the document a uniquely named (e.g. fm_gen_225319, fm_gen_225320, etc.) color definition for each combination it encounters, even if the combination is not unique. I've seen files with over 200 such definitions in the color catalog.
