Difficult to give an opinion (other than not reproducible here) without a shot
of the layers dialogue. Are all layers visible? Have you tried finding the layer
containing the 'ghosting' (if there is one)?

Just a comment on your work flow.

Path to selection, fill selection, rotate layer  is one way to go, but will lead
to degraded text as pixels are interpolated. screenshot 1

A better way is rotate the path, then path to selection and fill selection.
