Funky. I gave it a try (using qemu_arm_versatile_defconfig with sourcery
codebench toolchain) and I indeed see the shadow but the text is
rendered correctly:

And with the revert the shadow is indeed gone:

Interesting enough, dialog on my (Debian, 1.3-20190211-1) laptop behaves
like the new version, so it also unconditionally adds the frame:

So I am not sure where you got the corrupted testtesttest from? What is
your TERM variable set to?
Anyway, I am OK with reverting, but it would be great if you could also:
- Contact upstream to get it fixed in future releases
- Add a runtime test for it
