Just to be clear: these are bugs in dot, not doxygen.

If this is the case, then I suggest to 
1) subscribe to the graphviz mailing list
   see http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/doc/gvizfaq.html
2) create a broken dot graph using doxygen with DOT_CLEANUP set to NO,
   and package this into a self contained example (dot graph + gif image +
   doxfont.ttf + description what is wrong).
3) send it to the mailing list. I found the authors of graphviz very
   willing to help.

Don't complain on this list if dot is not working properly, since I 
cannot do much about it.
