Works for me, so I'm expecting a Pango problem. What version are you using?

Different renderers use different approaches. I have problems on OS X with 
pango-cairo, i.e. Dia's cairo renderer. But the Gdk renderer usually works, 
no matter which OS.

So it is a bug with Pango or cairo. While it might be possible to work 
around it in Dia I suggest you check your system first.
