I'm not sure I I understood your problem, but dit you try the resize="no" 
attribute? See:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/doc/custom-shapes#n100

This should give you text "sapn outside boundaries". And the textbox 
background will not be drawn, so it would be transparent.

But if you want an opaque textbox with shapes - like the draw background 
option of Standard - Text - that's indeed not possible with resize="no".
