I cannot override popup.contentItem on ComboBox because the original ComboBox' popup references its original contentItem by id.
So trying something like this:
    ComboBox {
        model: ["First", "Second", "Third"]
        id: combo
        popup.contentItem: Rectangle {
            anchors.fill: parent
            color: "blue"
            border.color: "red"
        }
    }
with the original ComboBox code:
    //! [popup]
    popup: T.Popup {
        y: control.height - (control.visualFocus ? 0 : 1)
        width: control.width
        implicitHeight: listview.contentHeight << -- fails here
        topMargin: 6
        bottomMargin: 6
        contentItem: ListView {
            id: listview
            clip: true
            model: control.popup.visible ? control.delegateModel : null
            currentIndex: control.highlightedIndex
            Rectangle {
                z: 10
                parent: listview
                width: listview.width
                height: listview.height
                color: "transparent"
                border.color: "#bdbebf"
            }
            T.ScrollIndicator.vertical: ScrollIndicator { }
        }
        background: Rectangle { }
    }
    //! [popup]
fails on the marked line with:
ComboBox.qml:108: TypeError: Cannot read property of null
I am not sure if users are supposed to fiddle with properties of internal child elements, so you can decide how to deal with this. 
Just as an explanation, what I was trying to do here is getting rid of the border around the popup.
