I can reproduce this. The Favourite Colour item doesn’t work for me either.

A temporary workaround would be to open the colour picker (Cmd+Shift+C) and create a custom palette containing your favourite colours.  I have attached a little screenshot of this. You add a palette by clicking the cog wheel, and you can add colours to it by hitting the plus sign. If you have a highlight selected and then hit the plus sign, the added colour will be the one of the selected highlight (that way, you could import the colours from an old document already containing highlights).
