There's a difference between using the text color at the start of selection and white for dark background.  For the markup below:
<div style="background-color: black; color: white;">hello</div
<div style="background-color: black; color: red;">world</div>
<div style="background-color: black; color: black;">world</div>

Internet Explorer gives me white caret for all three, and that is most reasonable result to me.  I personally don't want to see my caret being red, blue, or etc... or at least that is not the behavior you'd see on other Windows applications.
