QLabel does not respect the palette

In QtDesigner, I have a label. In the property editor, I clicked on “change palette” next to the “palette” property. Then I changed the “Text” active color to green. When I close the dialog, the text is still black. I know you can also use css to color the text, but I’d like to do it via a palette if possible.

There are screenshots and a discussion at this thread: http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/18673/ where we agree that this a bug.
