I can confirm that this bug still exists in Kubuntu 9.10 KDE 4.4 with OpenOffice 3.1.1 from standard ubuntu archives.
It only appears when I have a dark colorscheme in use. It affects Calc and Impress (displaying on screen is wrong, but on PDF generation it works as expected).
I can set a background in Writer which shows up correctly on screen - but the default settings for background and foreground is the same as with system settings (which is a bit misleading ... why shall the page show up with black background when I actually want to print on white paper?).
