Short description of error
Text objects with linked object data behave strangely. Some letters change their shape, which may vary from instance to instance. (see uploaded image)
Maybe i´ve got the bug is because i use the Small Caps format.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create several same text Objects (you maybe should use Small Caps format in them)
Link their Object Data
Try to switch several times between Object and Edit mode and you will see the bug. It occurs everytime on different letter. And every instance of the text looks often different then the others.
I am attaching the Blend file
bug.blend

I can confirm.
While it happens less frequently at 2.93, it doesn't appear to be a recent regression.
