Comment(by kyngchaos):

 OK, went through all the color pickers in the map view (skipped the
 composer for now), and what I found is that generally the native Mac color
 picker works in the old symbology and not the new symbology.  Though there
 are a couple places in the new symbology where it does work.  It also
 works in layer properties other than symbology, project properties and
 QGIS preferences.

 Specifically, in the new (ignoring the r15376 workarounds):

 - The color picker directly off the layer properties window to set
 fill/line color works, and the color 1 and color 2 pickers in the gradient
 dialog work.

 - Any color pickers that are one jump away from the layer properties
 window (like symbol properties -> color) or another dialog window (like
 layer properties for point layer ->change symbol -> color), will cause the
 previous dialog to refuse clicks on the OK/Cancel buttons (it beeps at
 me), though ESC works to cancel (return/enter does not do OK though).

 - The add color stop picker locks up the color ramp dialog, and the
 processor is running full speed.  The only way to get out of this one is
 to force quit QGIS.
