When I try to change the text color of a sign using dye in Creative Mode, the dye goes away but the color of the sign changes. If you change the color of anything else in Creative mode, it does not consume the dye.

This should be already fixed, see MC-138531. Are you sure you are experiencing this in 18w47a?
I think that this was fixed. I recall someone mentioning this bug fix in a video. (However, it was on 18w46a snapshot, so I am not sure if the bug made a comeback or something)
