Alright, so that seems to be more of a niche issue then. Especially with
the display manager change to sddm. GTK is weird sometimes. On these
systems, I will just implement a workaround to also listen to the
GTK.theme_name and detect if it contains -dark. Not perfect, but works
for some cases.
To test this further, I also set up a VM with Fedora Workstation 41,
brand-new with no other DE other than Gnome 47.4 installed. The only
thing I did on that system was upgrade all packages after install. And
on that system, the platform preferences don't work at all. All values
are the default values and no updates are registered for any changes.
Perhaps that can be reproduced more easily. If that is also not
reproducible, we can look if there is any way I can provide some
information / test some things to troubleshoot this on that system.

The way we’ve implemented this is that we always query all named
colors, regardless of what change notification we receive. So even if
a color theme change wouldn’t trigger a notification, a subsequent
accent color change (that you observe) should pick up the changed
fg/bg colors.
Sounds like an issue with GTK or the underlying shell bindings. One
way to test this hypothesis could be to write a simple GTK program
that exercises the gtk_style_lookup_color API after a theme change.

um 21:01:
The only change that is registered when I switch between dark mode
settings is:
replaced Yaru by Yaru-dark at key GTK.theme_name
If I change the accent color, it registers the following changes:
replaced 0xe95420ff by 0x03875bff at key
GTK.theme_unfocused_selected_bg_color
replaced 0xe95420ff by 0x03875bff at key GTK.theme_selected_bg_color
replaced Yaru by Yaru-viridian at key GTK.theme_name
It seems like this is very much limited to the foreground and
background
colors not updating. The fg and bg color is also not updating when
restarting the application or even rebooting. I switched to light
mode,
rebooted, and it still reports dark mode.
