text.sourceText fontSize increment is anchored opposite of layer's Anchor Point

Usually, increasing fontSize from a left-edged Anchor Point pushes characters to the right of the layer's Anchor Point. With my set up, I'm seeing the opposite behavior. This makes it impossible to have controlled layouts - very bad thing.

After some tests, it looks like a clamp method I've applied to my Text Layer's position property is causing the issue. When I disable the Position Expression, I get expected results. 

Still not a good thing that something happening in Layer>Transform>Position can affect the result.
