This should be in an FAQ :-) It has been answered at least 4 times here in
the last couple months...

Add

   PROCESSING "LABEL_NO_CLIP=ON"

to your LAYER.

YYMV, but I've noticed a side-effect of using this that I've been unable to
quantify. However it does stop the repetition of labels at the boundaries
so it solves your problem.

For me it seems to create another problem - clipping of labels at (meta)  
tile
boundaries regardless what I'm setting LABELCACHE_MAP_EDGE_BUFFER to in the
mapscript that renders the tiles. I made my metatiles larger to reduce this
effect but have been meaning to try again with PARTIALS TRUE and not  
setting
LABELCACHE_MAP_EDGE_BUFFER, which "in theory" should work.
