I agree this is strange. You can get it to appear by using FullGraphics. But the Rotate[...] seems to interpret as a 3D graphic:

Show[Plot[Log[x], {x, 1, 1000000},
   Epilog -> {Text["Appears normally", {500000, 12}],
     Rotate[Text["Doesn't appear", {500000, 12}], Pi/4, {500000, 12}],
     Rotate[Text["Appears normally", {500000, 12}],
      Pi/2, {500000, 12}]}] // FullGraphics, AspectRatio -> .00001]

Hello,

When I evaluate the following, the first two text items from the Epilog appear but the third, for some reason, does not. I'm working on an i7 iMac, running 10.6.7, Mathematica version 8.0.1, and I was wondering if this was a general bug or a version-specific bug.

Plot[Log[x], {x, 1, 1000000},
 Epilog -> {
   Text["Appears normally", {500000, 12}],
   Rotate[Text["Appears normally", {500000, 12}], Pi/2, {500000, 12}],
   Rotate[Text["Doesn't appear", {500000, 12}], Pi/4, {500000, 12}]
   }
 ]

Cheers,

Jason
