In reply to my question, it turned out that in the menu item Edit -> 
Preferences -> Formatting Options -> Font Options, I had Background set 
to GrayLevel[1].  I changed Background to None, and the problem 
disappeared.  So what had been going wrong is that I had been writing 
black text on a white background on top of the graph, instead of black 
text on a transparent background.  D'Oh!  Thanks to the people who 
replied offering suggestions.
