I've been playing around with different themes with Unity and had this black on black issue too. It seems that the Ambiance theme is the only one that will put white text on the black panel, though the icons are still black. Dust and other themes will set black panel with black text. Some of the Equinox themes also do this (but not all), though they aren't standard. Setting an opacity with compiz-config in the Unity plugin helps things a bit (if you have a lighter background, of course). It seems silly that the themes included with Ubuntu will not be usable with the default environment.
