We use defaults from the document. What you suggest is to change the defaults
source - using *some* paragraph properties - which? selected? but what if you
have multiple paragraphs selected? And note, that a given character style may
be applied not only atop of a "clean" paragraph, but also on top of some
character direct formatting, or even on top of another character style (see bug
115311 for discussion of a basically missing UI for that, but still there is a
Shift-DoubleClick method). So - I don't see how choosing one default or another
could solve anything at all, when the fact is: when you define a character
style, any property that you do *not* define directly in the style or one of
its ancestors is *undefined*, and the actual value used by a text to which this
character style is applied will depend on *other* factors, so not possible to
see here in the style dialog.

I do not see how bug 155113 is relevant here at all. They do *not* require
there *anything* related to how unset properties are displayed in the style.
What they request there is a way to set the Regular as "not Italic, nor Bold"
in a style explicitly. Completely unrelated.
