I'm stumped. It looks like the code (and even the inputs to draw_text_image) are virtually identical, modulo the differences between Agg 2.3 and 2.4. Maybe the change is in Agg, and 2.4 is theoretically more correct? We can always experiment with different kernels and parameters until finding one that looks right.
