Usability wise, I think it's an industry standard to have black on bottom (PS and Illustrator are also like this). Gimp was also until the change.
I understand on the Bug Report. Wasn't sure if it was an intentional change that somehow updated without my knowing. Oddly, it's also changed for a few others on windows (I'm on linux) that weren't aware of any changes. May I ask if it's changed for you? If so, do you remember it being black on bottom before? My Gimp version is 2.8.14.
