To say the least! I've always thought the field editor position and
text baseline seems too high for non-bezeled cells, too, and it must
be hardcoded somewhere.

Nope, just drawing a bezier path in the cell.

When you select a row for editing, the selected label column draws
white text, since it's highlighted. This probably doesn't affect
Tiger and earlier because of the kludge they use to determine if a
cell is highlighted. For Leopard, the fix is trivial:
@implementation BlackTextFieldCell
- (NSBackgroundStyle)backgroundStyle { return NSBackgroundStyleLight /
* 0 */; }
@end
