I was not able to reproduce the problem.
The attached PDF, when imported in Illustrator, has both text objects having exactly the same coordinates, and using Paste in Front does not result into a shifting for me, at Windows, with two last versions of Ai.
If I open it in Acrobat and check only '2X WHITE', which has 'Overprint Fill' checked, in Output Preview, I can see the tiniest seam, which does not get larger when I zoom in — so I assume it’s a rendering glitch, which is typical for Acrobat.
Having both text object outlined does not cause any difference, so it’s not because of hinting applied.The original PDFs from the thread indeed has both overlaid text objects shifted slightly... But as mentioned by Luke in the original thread, 'I don't know what caused the original error'.
Honestly, I’d assume a hand twitch... I know how it happens for me. Or some tool caused it to move. Until you give specific steps to reproduce it — I don’t think anything can be done to investigate this more that that :(
