Can't reproduce wtih my build from current CVS. But is somewhat smells
like an old GLib bug :

You dont happen to use a GLib 2.4.x from the spring 2004?

Though the complexity of the shape may have an influence I expect
something different. Maybe something "text in shape" releated.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155430 (already fixed
in cvs but cause it had to do with memory corruption it may have
caused strange other things)

BTW: you are using the current official release 0.94, do you?
