I did a test installation yesterday (my main goal was a different one,
but I watched the tasksel screen too).
I installed with the buster-rc1 netinst CD image, and had the dark theme 
enabled. 
And default selection was:

On "Software selection" there were 2 check-boxes:
1. on the "Debian desktop environment"
2. on the "...MATE"

So everything fine.
