A simple one-slide presentation exported to PDF

Problem description: 
Slides exported from Impress to PDF have their text rendered incorrectly, with overlapping words, lines extending beyond page/slide boundaries (and hence being invisible), and other legibility issues. This is especially apparent when any words are in bold or italics - the problem is even more ugly as the lines of text then become illegible.
(Exporting PDF from Writer is fine, this seems to affect Impress only.)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new presentation
2. Select slide layout named "Title, Content" (it will have a header and an area for bullet-ed text items)
3. Enter a long line of text that will wrap to the 2nd line
4. Enter another line of text and have one word in it in bold or italics
5. Export to PDF

Current behavior:
The PDF when viewed will have corrupted text, i.e. words overlapping such that they are often impossible to read, words extending beyond the right edge of the page/slide.

Expected behavior:
PDF slides are rendered exactly like they appear in Impress. I had been using v3.6 previously and it worked fine then, I switched to v4.1 recently and it's not working. I've seen this in 4.1.3, 4.1.4, and still in 4.1.5.

I have the same problem since 4.1.2 on MacOSX.
