Hmm...  That worked.  But I wonder why it was needed to
begin with --
is the canvas preset at some random size?  Also, why is this
not
working? --

  convert x1.png -repage 0x0 -gravity Center -draw 'text 0,0
"Foo"' x2.png

Actually, I'd expect that adding the image would set the
canvas size
accordingly, so that

  convert x1.png -gravity Center -draw 'text 0,0
"Foo"' x2.png

works.  (Which is different only in the arguments order, and
I did try
it when I was trying to fix things.)

Because you are using a single operator legacy mode.
