Hey Jeff,
I've been looking into this too (not finished yet). I'm using v6.0.1
and can reproduce my original results (blue dot to the left) AND Ian's
(grey dot coincident with white dot). Very strange. My shapefile
dataset gets reprojected from geographic to UTM, so that may be causing
the difference. I need to look into that...
Best Regards,
Brent Fraser

Here is the map file we are using ms4w 3.0.3.
We thought the larger grey circle should be drawn in the center of the
label text.
What have we done wrong?
I have done some testing on this on Windows, with MapServer trunk
(6.1-dev), here are my findings:
- I used Brent's original example styles (from
http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/GEOMTRANSFORM-labelpnt-location-td6408065.html)
with Ian's FEATURE layer --> Brent's "Blue Dot" LABELPNT with POSITION
CC is now correctly placed in the center of the label text (so it
seems this has been fixed in the code, but I can't find the ticket
that says that)
- If I change to POSITION LR (as in Ian's example layer) then I get
Ian's issue (LABELPNT is placed at the geometry location, not in the
center of the label text
- but this is now an issue of understanding the developer's logic
(from that thread SteveL says "Let me ponder this and get back to you.
I think it makes sense to use the label point geotransform only with
position CC so that it matches actual shape location.")
That's all I know at this point (ha pun).
