Are you calling SceneObjectGroup.ScheduleGroupForFullUpdate() after setting this text?  This function is necessary to 
actually tell connected viewers about the change.

It's possible that in previous versions of OpenSim this was being called somewhere internally.  However, this generally 
seems a bad idea, since in various cases it leads to hard to debug race conditions where multiple redundant updates are 
sent to viewers.
