Judging by upstream comments under #73115, a solution was supposed to be in place for version 4.2.3.
I am running LO 4.2.8.2 (on Ubuntu 14.04) and I see the issue still present: unpredictable transparent cell format windows when opend using the context menu.

Opening the format window using Ctrl-1 hadn't occurred to me before, but it seems to reliably get around the issue. Thanks for the tip!

Still, this is quite a serious issue because if my own experience is anything to go by (struggling with it for maybe a year now), a lot of users may be getting a bad user experience for a long time...
