Well, it's not a bug. It's the way mgp sets the size of the fonts.
When mgp draws "title" or "ihi", mgp uses default size 10 since no "%size"
is not seen at this moment. But, when mgp draws "aha!", mgp uses "size 3" 
because mgp got size 3 when it drew "oho".
If you don't like this behavior, you can set "tab 0" to specify the size
of the lines that start with a non-tab character.

I guess you're using xft or freetype library for rendering.
Please use "-x xft -x freetype" to suppress these libraries.
