Confirmed on Ubuntu 9.04, Inkscape rev. 22023.

Some objects (stars, spirals, circles, but NOT rectangles and freehands) have a transform attribute (translate) when copied. When using Visualize Path>Measure Path, the text gets this attribute, which is thus applied twice (one on the object and one on the text). Thats the reason why the text appears shifted on the canvas.

Workaround: remove the Transform attribute in the text object with the XML editor (Shift+Ctrl+X).

I try to take a look at it ASAP.
