I do not know what you expect exactly.
Each textext() label has a bounding box.
This bounding box is then aligned in the case of rt, top, lft, bot
with its appropriate edge centered at the origin.
The lft and rt text thus will not have their baselines aligned, unless you add a \strut.
(This is an issue with the chemical macros.)
Try label.rt (texttext("\strut right"), origin) ;
By the way, you can use:
draw textext.rt ("\strut right") ;
draw textext.top("\strut top") ;
draw textext.lft("\strut left") ;
draw textext.bot("\strut bottom") ;
which gives a tighter fit than label().
