I came into this conversation a bit late, but...

So you're tiling, and using MS as your backend. Are you using TileCache or similar in between? If so, TileCache supports "meta-tiling" which may help your label problems significantly.

Using meta-tiling, TileCache requests a much larger tile (say a 5x5 tile) and slices it up. Thus, MapServer generates fewer tile edges and truncated/missing labels.

That's aside from the obvious benefits of caching your tiles, if your layer isn't subject to change often such that caching is appropriate.
