The problem is that you created a new text object but forgot to set its
special flag (I can tell it from the "6" becoming a "4" above). This is
well documented in the man page:
How to draw the layout definition.
[...] Tags are associated to each frame. A tag is simply a text
"key=value" marked as special and positioned within [...]
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In XFig, you must choose the "Edit" mode (button on the left panel) and
click on the newly created text. In the Edit pop-up panel, change the
"Special Flag" from "Normal" to "Special".
Please, confirm if this indeed solve your problem.
