osgText::Text does some non standard management osg the attached StateSet to cover cases where no StateSet is manually attached, this is done to help state sorting and the approrpriate default binning of osgText::Text. For 1.2 this behavior changed a bit, making it more flexible in fact, such that you can now set your own StateSet where previously it forcably used StateSet's managed by Font.
I suspect in your subclass you are playing around a bit with the StateSet in a way that osgText::Text hasn't kept track off. You could either tweak you subclass to play better with the mechanism in osgText::Text, or just attach a StateSet to the Geode above the Text drawable.

Ok, with the ClusterCullingCallback turned off everything looks as I
expected it to.
In my own code I have discovered that everything works fine if I use
getOrCreateStateSet on the Text object to turn off depth test. If I
create my own state set with depth test turned off and apply that state
set to my Text, it doesn't work. Even if I first apply my own state set
to the Text object and then use getOrCreateStateSet it doesn't work. So
it seems like I'm replacing an existing state set with one that doesn't
do the job properly. Is it generally a bad idea to replace the state set
directly on an osgText::Text? In your example your state set is on the
group above.
Actually I'm using a class of my own, inheriting from osgText::Text. If
I use osgText::Text directly it seems to work. So it's probably
something fishy with this inheritance, even if my own class is very
simplistic, only overriding the constructor and copy-constructor, both
calling osgText::Text(). Anyway, I can always use the
getOrCreateStateSet approach, even if it seems unnecessary. But I do
wonder why this is, seems too basic to be a bug somewhere in osg...

Yeah, sounds serious, doesn't it? :-) Off to get some shut-eye right now...
