No, as far as I can tell from the documentation the missing bitplane(s) are always at the high end - you can't selectively disable them, only enable bitplanes 0-x.

not that odd, what's the use if you can only change blue?? seems more like a hardware bug that was relabled as a feature, then fixed in AGA.
Not a bug, just a weird artifact mode you get from playing around with the bitplane enable in a mode where the bitplanes have special meaning...
