Happened to come across this thread while trying to figure out the exact same problem. For me it turned out that the Automatic text color appears to be picked up from a KDE color. If you go to the KDE Control Center, select Appearances & Themes, select Colors, and under Widget Color select Window Text, this is the color that OpenOffice uses in some places (Spreadsheet and Presentation). I had this set to white and the Window Background set to a dark color. However, it does not seem to use the Window Background so one ends up with white text on white background.
