Strange text ('Unk') being displayed as label

[Xin]

I am using a data that represents urban areas.  I display the label field
when the area is of a certain minimal size.  This works great,  but on
closer inspection I have noticed 'Unk' being displayed at places.  This
doesn't happen often, but often enough to be a concern.

I links below are images showing this.

I have checked in the data, and there is only one area called 'Unk'.

Below is the mapfile code for that particular layer.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
