I don't know if I am right but .. isn't the placement of labels done 
with it's own engine where you can tell if you want to have it right 
above /left below (....) the point depending on available space?
Probably you switched on some of these possibilities and it selects one 
of those places which fits best for every centroid point ..
Just a thought without having tested

kind regards
