Yeah, you would expect the same random pixelation to occur, not the 
strange angled cut. It seems to be due to how POV handles object 
pigments. I'm getting the same effect with every flat object I try.

You're welcome. It's nice to see somebody passing through a difficult 
problem :)

If you *really* want to make sure it never happens again, you can make 
the object pigment infinitely long in the z-axis by changing your object 
pigment like so:

pigment_pattern{
  object{my_text 0,1}
  translate<1.5,0,0>
  warp{planar}
}

As long as you made the first 'translate' in the text object's 
definition, this should work just fine.
