The coincident surface problem is not a bug...

Whatever you call it, floating-point number precision is the way it is and
there is nothing anybody can do about it.

BTW, a much better solution to this is to split the text into two/three
sections.  Simply make one/both ends out of a text scaled by 1, and then place
the a extremely scaled version in the middle (so it overlaps a bit) and merge/
union the whole thing together.  It will of course slow down rendering a bit,
but it won't be as much as using a plane and CSG (without manual bounding).
