That is not recent at all, that is older than a year ;-)

In that release there were the following commits that touched TextOutputdev, I 
do not know if you know how to compile from git but if you do it would be 
great if you could try going back to 
9c5612f6e013a8698eff6531ec388a7e6c1fb89a
db014ffb357e760d9397544c5a8fe747cdb497ab
b1d43fa052d9160c4f319a67415ecf3ebf2cf9b3
f83b677a8eb44d65698b77edb13a5c7de3a72c0f
a2191a4d45e0abaec97c19aacae37c4c5824bd36
345ed51af9b9e7ea53af42727b91ed68dcc52370
12d83931ae1b899b70c7ea5c01f03f123b1bb9a8

And compile for each of them and see in which of those the bug is present and 
in which of them is not.

P.S: You still send html email ;-)
