System Information
OS X 10.9.5, Nvidia GTX 580

Blender Version
Broken: 2.75.2 30772b6 , 89e5c75
Worked: 2.75a

Short description of error
Dynamic Paint results are only visible in Textured Mode, not in Solid Mode any more (as in 2.75a)

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Just open the attached blend and see whether a blue paint spot appears below the cube in solid mode
should happen in 2.75a, should not happen in newer master builds

I think that it is a bug of 2.75a.
You set it in Dynamic Paint to output a result in Vertex color.
I think that it is not displayed in Solid view mode if you do not enable "Textured Solid" of Shading option.

Think I agree here with @sindra1961, sounds reasonable that dynamic paint output isn't visible in solid view but only in texture view. @Psy-Fi, @miikah, what do you think?

It's definitely a regression. Previous Blender versions displayed dynamic paint in solid shading mode and it's pretty difficult to work with it if you can't see what you are doing without switching to another (less practical) shading mode.

Solid rendering (not mode) never uploaded colors to the GPU as far as I know. Probably there was a branch in the code that forced textured drawing (always while in solid mode user side) for objects that had dynamic paint and that was eaten by a code elf somewhere in the process. But let me check previous versions first.
