The misplaced letters is a celestia bug, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=137769&archived=False&mbox=no#15 .

Unfortunately, Celestia 1.6.0 (exact same tarball, exact same program) works perfectly on another of my computers) but I will check with the Celestia people, will report back here. 

What about the misrendering of planet surfaces?

The bug only affects architectures such as powerpc where char is unsigned by default.

No idea.
