My hack was to write a short python script that does a more dense line (You choose the spacing between lines, default nodes are every degree I think). https://github.com/wildintellect/pyGraticule
Then I cut it to extent and project it into the final projection I want. The extra density makes it easier to label what you want to. However the table values are always in Lat/Lon so you'll need to use the field calculator to pull out the X/Y after projection if you wanted projected coordinate labels. Maybe someday I'll have time to add the idea to QGIS directly.
