Sidebar Properties section, subsection Area to configure the gradient is only one color instead of two (see screenshot)

Hmmm, yes as displayed in the Sidebar's Area content panel, a selection of gradient fills shows only one swatch of the gradient.

The "more options" button top-right, launches the Area dialog, where on the Gradient tab (shown in attachement 113542), two color bars of the gradient are provided the start "From" and end "To"--as well as a larger view of the color sample.

Point is the Sidebar content panel shows the the sample swatch--not the start and end colors of a gradient.  But since the same widget shows a sample swatch for each Area fill--Color, Gradient, Hatching, Bitmap, from UX perspective showing only the swatch is probably correct.

But some folks might like more convenient way to change the start/end values of the gradient than the Area dialog panel.  

Perhaps making the swatch itself (at least in Gradient fill mode) a button that launches the Area dialog open to the Gradients tab?
