So you use a dark system theme and default TB theme, correct? And this is in new AB only?

With this setting I see this too. The weird thing is that the colour is set here: https://searchfox.org/comm-central/rev/c2dae586a341861ce8b97e8de35e5444f747aad0/mail/themes/shared/mail/themeableDialog.css#130. for new and old AB. The used colour is on both FieldText but in normal dialog it's white and in new AB dialog it's black.

Because the new AB is only experimental and this dialog has to work primarly on old AB I can't do anything now. I'd say this can be fixed when we decide that the new AB is the default and we can style this dialog only for it. You can also see that this dialogs don't fit well that there is a lighter border on top and left inside the dialog.

How is it now in nightly?

Looks okay in nightly now with both the system theme and dark theme. (Linux is using a dark theme as well). Closing.
