I have had similar problems for a while with all tools actually, where
the style would revert to Unset for fill and stroke (unset fill
appears transparent, unset stroke appears black so I guess this is
what you are seeing). This seemed to have improved in recent builds
but indeed there are still some issues.
A little more precisions, with same Inkscape build, same system I get:
1/ set text tool's own style to something not "unset"
(2/ quit/restart) - seems to be optional
3/ write some text -> OK
Now, do one of these actions (i.e. not sequentially, I have not tested
the sequence)
4-1/ change anything in the font dialog: font family, style, size,
layout, direction or line spacing -> OK, all settings honored
4-2/ change font family in the font toolbar -> reverts to unset, 12
pts but uses the font that was just selected
4-3/ change anything else (size, layout, direction) in the font
toolbar -> reverts to unset, 12 pts, Sans
So it seems the pb is mainly with the font toolbar. The font dialog
works perfectly. I must say that I have relied on the dialog for a
while because the toolbar has never beer very reliable/fast enough for
me. The only thing that used to kind of work were the bold/italic
buttons but they don't work anymore.
NB: is there a reason why:
- the line spacing setting is not in the font toolbar?
- the text toolbar does not have a style indicator on the right, as
other tools have?

same here.
Other style issue: with the 3D Box tool, the styles settings in
Inkscape's preferences: are never honored.
- set "This tool's own style" to red and dark red, go to the canvas,
dra a box = on my machine it is blue with different shades depending
on the facet, even though the fill and stroke indicator say red. These
blue seem to be the default because I get the same after trashing
Inkscape prefrences.
- set Last used style, draw a box, change it to red and dark red, draw
another one = it is blue again
