The bug
If a resource pack specifies that a font that has characters whose texture is partially translucent, the translucent pixels will prevent the sign from rendering behind them.
To reproduce
Use this example resource pack: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eT1inIgiRceem5oZWHSfhsskV4rBgkLf/view
Write something on a wall sign attached to some white blocks
→ ❌ You'll see a white border around all characters

As of 25w32a a resource pack is no longer required:
/give @a oak_sign[block_entity_data={id:sign,front_text:{messages:[[{atlas:"minecraft:blocks",sprite:"minecraft:block/red_stained_glass",color:"white"}],"","","",""]}}]
25w33a is affected.
