I'm using Julia, but I think this issue comes from gr_textext (I'm copying this over from https://github.com/jheinen/GR.jl/issues/402). Tried to confirm in Python, but I couldn't figure out how.
When rendering LaTeX strings, the position of an exponent changes a lot if the symbol before it is encased in gull wings or not:
the first, fourth and sixth are correct. The fourth demonstrates a workaround for the case of \mathrm (when the exponent is a number), but the sixth demonstrates why this isn't always an option.
In LaTeX, these exponents would all be the same height.
