Commit Message:
CGE2: Return a default value from getText() when a text can't be found

Fixes crashing when text entries are missing - bug #14645.
Now, a default value is returned in such cases (the first entry in the
cache, which is a long line of underscores), which is preferable
instead of crashing later on with invalid text references.
