Eventually I found the variable doc-view-mupdf-use-svg, and setting it to nil reverted the rendering to the old method where the text was visible. I suggest that, at the very least, this variable should be added to the NEWS file so that someone having rendering issues after upgrading can find it more easily. I am also not sure that having it default to t (enabling SVG rendering by default) is a good idea. It probably works well for certain types of document but it wasn't usable for the ones which I was viewing (which were all automated invoices sent by e-mail from multiple organisations).
