When I draw a component in circuitikz at an angle, I am unable to change the position of label through l_=label parameter. However, drawing horizontally or vertically l_=label and l=label have opposite effect on label placement.
Is this expected behaviour? I want to place diode labels outside the bridge rectifier circuit, but cannot figure out how to do it. I am using MacTeX 2016.
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{circuitikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{circuitikz}
\draw (0,0) to[Do,l=D] (2,0);\draw (4,0) to[Do,l_=D] (6,0);
\draw (8,-1) to[Do,l=D] (8,1);\draw (10,-1) to[Do,l_=D] (10,1);
\end{circuitikz}

The underscore sign changes label position.

I can compile it normally with the desired result, It could be version or compiler matter.
