In that case it seems to definitely be a problem with your 
drivers.

I should probably clarify, too, that my 'bone of contention' 
with the current text rendering is largely the ugliness of the 
text it renders in pixmap and texture modes (and slowness of 
the pixmap mode) – (all translated text is drawn in these modes).

Good luck in solving your disappearing labels.
