To anyone still confused by this, the workaround (at least in Ubuntu 14) is to simply not use any export option labeled "Cairo". Cairo simply doesn't handle text very well. If you need to export to PNG or SVG, use one of the PNG or SVG export option that's non-Cairo based. These worked perfectly for me.
