...and it comes worse :-(

try:

Manipulate[
  Plot[Log[x], {x, 1, 1000000},
   Epilog -> {Blue,
     Rotate[Text["looks strange", {500000, 12}], \[Alpha], {500000,
       12}]}], {\[Alpha], 0, 4*^-5, 1.*^-6}]

these tiny angles shouldn't have any visible effect, but the text turns 
by almost Pi/2 and distorts.
