Thanks for all your help on this guys. I finally figured it all out.
Jeez - took long enough. Now I just have to optimize it a bit.
The end solution was to wrap it in UIComponent (dumb style
propagation). UIComponent is just beefy and way more than I need for
this, but it works so I'll live with it for now.
All the work was worth it though, I have a relatively high quality
bitmap representation of text that can be rotated, scaled realtime by
an end user and I don't have to load a dang font to do it. Finally.
rock on!

Well... at least I won't try to go down that route now. :)
Related to the same problem ... do you know if there is an event
triggered when the style of a UITextField is modified (and the
result is applied/rendered)?
I have it almost working but I can't seem to get the field to draw
into the bitmap at the right time. It's always drawing before the
text field itself is resized or the font or other properties change.
closer...
