Hey Devs,

I've just pushed r12525 which should fix an error where moving filtered
items wasn't using the right bbox.

What concerns me is two things: That this was effecting text elements,
but not other items suggests that _bbox and _item_bbox were different
for text but not for other items. Which is odd and should probably be
fixed too.

Yes, I also believe that something is wrong with either the bounding box or with the transformations and coordinate translations, all of which need to be correct to render crisp patterns of text objects. I was also diving into this because of another blocker bug (1005892), but so far haven't been succesfull in even understanding what's going one, let alone fixing it...
