Text scaling in 6.1 vs. 6.0

My text drawing in an output pane got messed up upgrading from LW 6.0 to 6.1. It appears that using a graphics transform as follows:

        (gp:with-graphics-state (self :transform (list x-scale 0 0 y-scale x-offset-pixels y-offset-pixels))

now causes scaling to be applied to text drawn using draw-string.

Are others experiencing this, and can anyone tell me whether to consider this a bug or a correction of a bug?

(LW Mac Professional edition)

Thanks as always.

New feature.  It seems that more drawing operations now respect the 
current transform when using the new "quality" drawing mode, which is 
the new default.  See:
