David, 

6.0 fixed alot of these graticule lablling issues (in my testing).  I was getting quite a bit of wandering in the label positions, and set up a test for the DEVs to see the results.

5.6.6. Was this known behavior and since fixed in 6.0.x? If so, I'm
all over that!

(apologies for this note in your Inbox a second time Brent, "replied
all" w/o first checking what account I was using)
