I spawned with the odd hat as a trinket as a clown, put it on, became a dwarf, and no comic sans. Didn't lose the mutation it just didn't function.
Actually on that not the obsidian crown speech should be as well. Maybe this should be a bug report but it's been around for so long I'm assuming it's intentional.

This seems to be a bug with all text change mutations and mutantraces. If you get big text mutation, it works fine on humans, but for mutantraces it doesn't show up as big, just makes it all caps.

This is correct. Based on how one dev described it, it seems rather difficult to fix, which is probably why it's been around for a long while.

Not really difficult per se it's more that speech / accent code is just a bunch of special case handling taped together and the proper way of fixing it would be effort. But you could fix it by just adding one more ugliness to the existing code easily.
