Hello Christian! As you have seen, upstream has closed the bug that you have created in their bug tracker. I don't think there will be any changes in that regard, especially considering that the code in question has been completely overhauled in newer versions of OpenSCAD.
My suggestion would be to upload OpenSCAD 2014.03+dfsg-1 to wheezy backports. Additional dependencies that would need to be backported would be harfbuzz and a newer version of cgal. I am friends with one of the OpenSCAD developers and he told me that they receive bug reports against the 2011.12 version from time to time and usually those issue are fixed by updating to the latest upstream version 2014.03. A backport of OpenSCAD 2014.03 would also fix #711760. I would be happy to sponsor any uploads for the packages mentioned above. Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
