Are there any error messages in the log? Sometimes the neighbour and overlay transformers can be too enthusiastic and copy over format attributes as well as user attributes. Then your text is tagged with igds_type=igds_line and so get thrown away as a single point line feature.
Usually happens only when reading and writing the same format - so write to a different format and check the output, or route the workspace directly to the Viewer (which will display the data using fme_type and not igds_type).
