Thanks to all who have replied so far -- and please keep the answers
coming! Perhaps we will at last see a truly simple, straigntforward,
robust, and correct way to accomplish what seems such a basic task for
annotating graphics!
So far, the solution below -- with the proposer's subsequent (privately
sent) amendment to wrap y and f[x] with HoldForm -- seems to be the only
one that actually works in the sense I indicated.
There still seems to be no general solution that would also properly
format, in conventional form, other math expressions as Text in graphics
output.
