Well, it works for me. The text goes to the *center* of the image
though, which is due to "y=(h-text_h)/2". Don't divide by 2 and it
goes to the bottom.
Also, the box does not span the whole width of the video. I think that
cannot be achieved with this filter though, because there is no way to
specify the width of the box.

Have you tried the latest git master? Maybe there is a bug in an older
version.
