Thanks for the issue. We'll look into it.

We've identified this as a false positive.

I'm doing some polling to decide if this should actually pass. I'm not convinced anymore. It's definitely on the edge. The inner shape of letters don't have a 4.5:1 contrast on this, but the contrast around the word does. I think there's a reasonable case to be made either way. Generally with axe we try to stick to the more permissive side of things, but I'd like to get a few more opinions in before deciding that.

Update; I've asked a good number of folks about this and most think this should pass. Working on a fix today.
