That's pretty cool. Monospace only? Replicatable in gtk-demo? With unstable gtk2?
It's probably Pango, but file a bug with Gtk and it can be changed to Pango if that turns out to be the case. 
If it doesn't replicate in gtk-demo, try to make a minimal program that demonstrates the problem (look in 
tests for a starting point).
