It sounds like setting a text color widens the text slightly. That would 
cause a rewrap. If your default color is black, I wonder if you could 
fudge it by changing the default color to something that is a tiny 
increment different. Instead of black, try "1,0,0". The engine would see 
this as a "color" instead of the default and might retain its colorized 
width. The difference to the human eye would be imperceptible.

Just a guess but maybe worth a try.
