Yes! I have just recently run into this, having just used formatted text for the first time. Thought that was odd.

I also want to add (haven't created an issue yet because I haven't created a repro repo yet) that on Windows (not on Android - works on Android) trailing space is being ignored in the label's text. So, quick little fix to make the background a bit bigger, add a space either side of the text, but on Windows the trailing space gets ignored. That's even with regular text, not just formatted text.
