Are you using a mapscript or WMS backend? Either way, setting the size
of your label_cache_edge_buffer to something higher than it currently is
will help you here: metaBuffer (default 10) plus 10 should probably do
it (the default is memtaBuffer + 5 with the mapscript layer)...

Great looking site though! Care to do a case-study like writeup on why
you chose this stack?
