Yes, there is probably a bug.  Further research indicates that the text 
color is: "Standard Text" which you *can* set where I said, but the 
background is not a named KDE color.  The background appears to be the 
Kicker Panel background color and I can't find anywhere to set this.

Also, there is no color specified in "kickerrc".

I can't reproduce the problem so all I can suggest is that you file a 
bug report.
