[backface-visibility with pseudo elements]

Thanks Jonathan! I tried "preserve-3d" on pretty much every other element apart from this!

[backface-visibility with pseudo elements]

I have an odd issue. I've created a simple rotation as follows:
 

<div id="wish">      
<p>Make a wish.<br>
Write it down.<br>
Tie it to the tree.</p>
</div>

 
I've added backfaceVisibility:"hidden" to the contained 'p' tag which works.
When I add a pseudo element div#wish the backface visibility on the p tag fails and the pseudo element flickers badly during animation. 
 
Can anyone shed any light on this? I've been trying to solve it for nearly 2 hours!
Thanks.
