If option Use color from tab is enable for highlight path, color is not updated automatically in tree.
It's even worse. Highlight path doesn't work most of the time. Sometimes I see a 'normal' colored path and sometimes I see different paths in de colors of the tabs. But when I switch panes all paths are gone and don't re-appear at all. Not until I hover with the mouse over the folder tree.
Occasionally the path becomes or remains visible but I don't know what triggers it.
Disabling the option Use color from tab makes no difference in this behaviour.

Turn off Preferences / Folder Tree / Appearance / Only highlight paths when tree is active.
Ah, that was easy. But it looks like this setting was changed during the upgrade to DO12. Or is this a new setting in DO12. Highlighting was always on in DO11. Anyway, "problem" solved.
It's an old setting. I don't think it should be changed during upgrade. (It definitely wasn't changed here.) Maybe you turned it on while exploring the new settings?
