This was not a backward-incompatible change, I was wrong.

This was a backward-incompatible bug fix apparently.

There was a bug in Pango that was ignore the first line of text is some 
cases, and I added a UTF-8 invisible character at the start of the Pango 
string to workaround the bug.

It worked before, but now it makes Pango randomly ignore some lines when 
displaying text.

The problem is guessing which version of Pango needs the workaround, and 
which one must not use it!
