I'm not sure about this. If I'm changing sizeunits from meters to
kilometers, my style looks realy awkward but my labels are stay the same.

The mapfile looks fine. I'm unsing MINDISTANCE the same way for
controlling road labels.

One other thing you can try is to play with BUFFER for the labels.

Which version of MapServer are you using? I know along with 5.4 there
where some enhancements for labeling.

One last thought: Do you have this problem just with the layer
"annotate_pin"? Does the labeling of other layers work as you expect?
