The placing of the text does change; I wrote that in my usecase;

The text is *under* the shape and we clip the shape visualization; so 
naturally the text position should change to respond to that.

Or more clear;  text under shape unclipped; at 0, 1010.
text under shape clipped; at 0, 110.

I'll make it clear again; the point of asking for clarification is that if we 
were to write a proof of concept for this would the issue I mention of 
interconnected features be an issue or not? I think it is. But I'm open to you 
disproving me.

Maybe you can file a bugreport. Its likely not too hard to fix and clipping is 
not part of the text-on-shape wise men request AFAICT.
