Further observations:

Bug 51943 is fixed now (thanks, Thorsten!), at least in the lastest master
(LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+, Build ID: c549e1e, installation file:
master~2012-07-25_02.21.07_LibO-Dev_3.7.0.0.alpha0_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg).

Therefore I would have expected that the present bug would be reproducible
again -- i.e., that selecting "No fill" from the pulldown palette under the
"Background Fill" toolbar button, or selecting "Automatic" from the pulldown
palette under the "Font Color" toolbar button, would crash LibO again, just
like it crashes 3.5.5.3, when RightZoom is running and activated.

But the crash did not return -- with the master build cited above, I can set
text color and (cell) background fill color and (in Writer) paragraph
background color to any color I want, including "Automatic" or "No fill"
respectively, without any crashes. I can not guarantee this for 100%, because
reproducing these accesibility-related bugs was always tricky, but it seems
that the present bug, as originally described by porter21g (comment #0), is
gone away at least in the current master build. Therefore, it may be also fixed
in the forthcoming 3.6.0.3 (we will see).

Nevertheless, setting the cell fill color (Calc) or paragraph background color
(Writer) via menu and dialog window still crashes LibO, just as I wrote in
comment #8.

This seems to indicate that something important has changed in the underlying
code for the color pulldown palettes. Of course, Winfried Donkers changed the
behaviour of the color pulldown palettes and buttons this winter, on request of
Stefan Knorr/Astron (see the comments in bug 51943), and these changes seem to
have eliminated the present accessibility bug by the way.

Now it would be great if this would give us a clue about how to fix the
remaining accessibility crashes ...
