Gabriel,

I have successfully displayed text from DGN using a layer definition like this:

LAYER
   NAME "text"
   TYPE ANNOTATION
   CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
   CONNECTION "lignum_overview.dgn,0"
   STATUS ON
   STYLEITEM "AUTO"
   CLASS
     NAME "test1"
   END
END

The key is to set the STYLEITEM to AUTO otherwise it may not be possible.
Note, I haven't tested this capability in half a year.

Best regards,
