See answer, Offset is the wrong tool to use so my question is based on an incorrect design decision.
Mobile shader Offset different on different phones
I've got an interesting problem: I have some UI with a custom shader that uses Offset -1, -500000 to render it on top of some level geometry. On a Samsung S6 and Note 4, as well as in the editor, it looks like this:
On my S3, it looks like this:
Why? Do some mobile devices not support Offset?
-500,000 was chosen because it's the only thing that works (I need world space UI to render on top of some 3d geometry). Lower numbers only partially shift the UI where it needs to be. This is also developed for mobile VR, which is why I need world space UI in the first place.
For reference, here's the shader:
Shader "UI/Offset" {
Properties {
_MainTex ("Font Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
_Color ("Text Color", Color) = (1,1,1,1)
_StencilComp ("Stencil Comparison", Float) = 8
_Stencil ("Stencil ID", Float) = 0
_StencilOp ("Stencil Operation", Float) = 0
_StencilWriteMask ("Stencil Write Mask", Float) = 255
_StencilReadMask ("Stencil Read Mask", Float) = 255
_ColorMask ("Color Mask", Float) = 15
}

v2f o;
o.vertex = mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, v.vertex);
o.color = v.color * _Color;
o.texcoord = TRANSFORM_TEX(v.texcoord, _MainTex);
#ifdef UNITY_HALF_TEXEL_OFFSET
o.vertex.xy += (_ScreenParams.zw-1.0)*float2(-1,1);
#endif
return o;
}
fixed4 frag (v2f i) : SV_Target
{
fixed4 col = i.color;
col.a *= tex2D(_MainTex, i.texcoord).a;
clip (col.a - 0.01);
return col;
}
ENDCG
}
}

It looks like Offset, while producing the effect I wanted, is not the correct tool to use for setting up render order: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/about-depth-offset.80031/.
