If the user sets the hi-yellow face to red, she gets what she deserves.

Agreed, and hi-yellow is for highlighting some text in yellow, hence
its name.
The only real problem is that a user who wants to use a face whose
attribute do not agree with any of the predefined hi-* faces might end
up forced to use such a silly setting.
So the right fix is to provide ways for the user to add her own faces.
An alternative might be to let the user specify either a face name or
a color name, so we can get rid of hi-yellow altogether. But that still
only caters to "highlighting with a color", whereas faces offer
more choices.
