Hi,
When I had this problem in the past, I learned that Mapnik's painter
model rendering meant that if you wanted things to show up for-sure,
they should be included in earlier layers (as in, nearer the start of
the stylesheet XML file), and come out of the DB first (as in, use an
ORDER BY clause in your SQL). In your case, it looks like all the text
is coming from the "text" layer, so you may want to add some explicit
ordering to the table parameter on that datasource.
I still get mysteriously-missing station names from time to time, but
overall behavior is more predictable.
