Also, note, however, it does not fix my original problem, my 
annotate_pin layer still has dup labels.  (yes, I added the PROCESSING 
'LABEL_NO_CLIP=1' to the layer).

I even tryed setting OpenLayers to single tiled mode, and it still dups 
the labels.

So looks like when I'm adding Features it gets drawn different than line 
layers?
