I wonder if it's worthwhile throwing a warning when mplot3d is used in conjunction with the Gtk backend?

Ah, that explains everything! Because text on an axes3d object has to be projected to 2d, it uses simple AGG text rotation behind the scenes to achieve that effect (rather than actually performing the expensive tedious calculations to fully project it). So, even though you are not rotating the text, mplot3d is.

Good to know that switching to GTKAgg fixed everything.
