    (Sort of) SOLUTION:

    Don't use Appearance panel for Live text, unless necessary. Go via Swatches.

    If you need to use Appearance: make sure you select the text you want to change first, DON'T just click with Selection Tool (V) - this is where problems start.

    The bug is essentially "adding" a the yellow fill as an effect, not an actual fill. You can see this by taking the buggy text and adding another effect like Warp > Arch. It only warps the yellow.

    It then "reveals" the hidden black text that you didn't know was there.

    Like so...
