Is this to say that CSS 3D transformations on text are bound to be aliased [in similar circumstances]? Is there a suggestion to the spec such as a "mipmap hint" that could (one day) be added to reduce this flaw without the need for other technologies?

It's not just 3D transforms, a simple scale down will exhibit aliasing as well.

There's no flag to control aliasing migitating strategies for CSS in the spec, nor is there any discussion about it as far as I know.

We call this a leaky abstraction :)
