Thanks for this solution. It, however, seems to fail with any other angle than
315° (I tested 305, 325 and 314).

I guess, this one actually draws the text...

and this one calculates the faked width. Doesn't the sinus here calculate the
height of the rotated text?
Beside from using Metapost (since I currently do not understand it and would
only be able to copy paste your code), is there some kind of box construct
which artificially reduces the width of the inner content?
I would have expected something like \fakewidth[width=1cm,
align=flushright]{\rotate[rotation=-45, location=high]{A really long text, much
longer than 1cm}}.
If I see it right, such a construct would also solve the problem, while less
cleaner due to the fixed width.
