However, I'm not really sure this is is a bug - perhaps this is a feature request? Would it be very difficult to implement a capability such as described above?

I think it's very difficult. The renderer is built on the assumption that lines are constant width. Objects are transformed (including skew) first and rendered second. Fixing this would request transforming the result of rendering, which is a major architectural change.
