I don't see where is the bug, try this with and without txfonts.
\documentclass{article}
%\usepackage{txfonts}
\begin{document}
$XXXXXXXX$
$SSSSSSSS$
$UUUUUUUU$
$AAAAAAAA$
$CCCCCCCC$
\end{document}
To my eyes the X with Knuth's font is far worse than the S of txfonts.
if you add a superscript after the letters,
you will see why the S is alleged to be too
wide, compared to the X. this is a technical
flaw, and has nothing to do with how one feels
about the general appearance of the alphabet
styles.
