[pstricks] Is a small red horizontal line a bug?

Hi,

It seems that \pstextpath cannot handle all compound symbols correctly. The small horizontal line is the horizontal bar of the square root symbol, and it is not correspondingly rotated and placed along the path. If you replace $\sqrt x$ by $\surd x$, the line disappears, but the square root symbol is still displayed only in its "short" form, without the bar. The same effect appears, if you try to typeset $\frac{a}{b}$ along a path.
