I fixed a bug in the APA16 X server some time ago when it would not
properly handle more than one TEXTITEM in the PolyText8 calls that
Andrew was making.

So for the moment, I will disagree with the findings of your tracings.

It may be that a patch came along that cut the items to the degenerate
case.  Who was last inside drawtextv?
