No, it does not.  It never changes.  Only the user's local version (if I
leave off the 'Apply to all users') or the system wide version change.

The file only contains a single line:

gtk-theme-name = "Nimbus" (this is not the theme I have chosen)

The other files all start with a comment saying the file is auto generated.

No problem, I was indeed very confused when you said I couldn't change
colors yet I could.  Now I understand, the very colors I want to change
(the font) I can't because of the bug.  Makes much more sense.

So in theory, my addition of text[NORMAL] and fg[NORMAL] should have
worked if the bug weren't present, correct?
