Thanks for that. I don't see any compelling reason why the whole of the UK should not have a place=island tag.
I think this is more an OSMAnd rendering problem. There needs to be some better criteria for when a multipolygon's name should be rendered. For example, only when opposite edges are both visible on the screen.
