Thanks for the heads up in http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=7f7a0275be241b8a5e1d1cda0a1da613e3af61d3 about the icons being hard set. I'd toggled the setting recently following a Accessibility ML session, and couldn't revert. It is simplest to clear per-user profile to get back to default icons.

Not so sure it is creep. As @nicciglen mentioned in the OP, for A11Y the requirement is for high contrast (HC) between background and foreground. So with background settings no longer automatic--if the foreground color 'automatic' selection happens to pick a low contrast color pair, the document will be unreadable by those needing HC asssitive technology.

Best case would be pick up both OS background and foreground colors as set by OS in HC mode. But at a minimum would need to set a HC foreground color complementary to what ever background color is being set. Can the background color algorithm be adjusted to select a complementary foreground color?
