When Inkscape opens normally the text is not 100% black. It comes up slightly gray. This is due to the Alpha fill level opening at 0.75. This is easy to fix in preferences since it seems to come from the "tools" style = "fill:none; fill-opacity: 0.75;" Changing this to 1 fixes the problem.
Is there a reason for this 0.75 value? If not I suggest it gets changed so that the default references file has this value as 1.
Would this classify as a bug?

Would changing this entry at line 37 in preferences-skeleton.h be sufficient?
If so, I will do it...
" <group id="tools"" " style="fill:none;fill-opacity:0.75;"
Yes it would. We changed to fill-opacity 0.75 when we set the default colors for the basic shapes, because we thought the colors turned out better with a little alpha, but we didn't notice that it affected the text settings as well... Hmm...
I played with it a little bit, and while the colors do look good with a 3/4ths alpha, I'm wondering if for users unfamiliar with what alpha is, if that default might lead to some confusion, since their objects will "bleed" color through each other. So maybe setting default alpha to 1 would be the safest?
