Name of railway=halt rendered only on high zoom levels. In osmaprender it shown
only at level
16, while it is useful to see name at zoom 13.
As workaround for this railway=halt sometimes tagged as railway=station but it
seems to be not
correct:
On the cycle map, I often find myself zooming in on the station to find out
the name of a town, though perhaps it would be better if the city name
rendered...

Mmmm text ordering. One of my least favourite problems to sort out.
I've generally gone for the principle that all cycling information has
to show up at some point, and in the case you link to it's the node
network numbers that bump off the town names. I recently changed
things around so that
I know it's a devil of a balancing act, and am hugely grateful that
someone's made as good a job of it as you have already. Maybe it's one of
those instances when someone ought to discreetly shift the town name node to
somewhere a bit more renderer-friendly.

And THIS, my friends, is why cartography is an art form, not a
science, and I have the greatest respect for people who can do it.
