I had this issue, and found almost exactly the same problem on Stack Overflow (link)

Briefly, the pyplot.legend does not try to avoid pyplot.text. Here is a minimal example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1, 2]
plt.plot(x, x, label='plot name')
plt.gca().text(0.05, 0.95, 'some text', transform=plt.gca().transAxes, verticalalignment='top')
plt.gca().legend(loc='best')
plt.show()

resulting in legend overlaying the text like this:
Figure_1

BTW, my matplotlib version is 3.4.3

It maybe doesn't unwind the transform to put it in data units instead of transAxes?

Nope, got the same issue with the following code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
x = [1, 2]
plt.plot(x, x, label='plot name')
plt.gca().text(1.05, 2, 'some text', verticalalignment='top')
plt.gca().legend(loc='best')
plt.show()

Yes, indeed texts are not considered.
