I made a few of variations to compare. I think B works the best because it doesn't look like you can do anything about it. I greyed the text out, just like what happens to disabled buttons http://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/section-2.html.
If A and C stood alone without the standard checkbox, they may not be as clear that they're disabled. Is there a reason we're using lightgrey instead of actual value?

This is what it looks like when the checkbox uses #ddd instead of " lightgrey" and the surrounding .mw-ui-checkbox div is 50% transparent.

Maybe it's just me, but the new disabled checkbox doesn't look disabled to me: https://tools.wmflabs.org/styleguide/desktop/section-5.html
The normal convention for making a form element disabled is to make it faded out (<100% opacity), not giving it a gray fill.
I have no idea where this design came from or who is responsible for it, but I was wondering if the design team could revisit it.
Thanks! Ryan Kaldari
