Yes, exactly.

If the issue is a direct cause of introducing the TextHint property then 
I would first do the redesign and then check the issue again. I don't 
have time now but next week should be OK. I thought about it already a 
long time ago, so I have some kind of concept - I'll check with other 
developers first because it will mean that TextHint will stop working - 
the TextHint painting methods will have to be introduced for every one 
widgetset.

But IMO it has to be done because the current TextHint implementation is 
a no-go for me (I use the WinAPI TextHint in my applications).

You have the comfort of a custom-drawn widget set. The LCL has to paint 
over native controls, which is more complicated. Well, I like custom 
drawn widget sets more and more with the time :)
