As Rune said, it is possible to avoid the overlapping letters problem by
intersecting the text with a plane, but the tilted text problem appears
still when it's intersected. Even if it is only a coincident surfaces
problem, why do you say that it's not a bug? There is no proper workaround
except less scaling (and that's not a workaround but a restriction IMHO).
