No response from the one who opened this bug report, so I think it is fixed.

I tried 0.6a with Leisure Suit Larry 1 on qemu, and couldn't see any problem with text.

Btw, most (all?) of these games can be downloaded (legally AFAICT) from http://www.the-underdogs.info/

Does this bug still exist in the latest vgabios release (0.6a)?
If the bug is still there, please point me to a location where I can download one of these games for testing.

I believe that this is a problem with the vgabios, in MS-DOS 6.22 clean install, if you run the game kings quest III, or for that matter, ANY AGI game, the text in game is completely corrupted.

list of affected games:
King's Quest
King's Quest II
King's Quest III
Space Quest
Space Quest II
Police Quest
Leisure Suit Larry

possibly others as well, not sure why this happens, but definitely a bug.

bochs 2.2.1
