If you mean zoom levels 6-11 than that would be because the caption
layer that has been generated is corrupt so merging the captionless and
captionlayers fails.

This can be fixed by rerendering the caption layers of those tiles.
Unfortunately there is no automatic process for doing that so someone
should take care of priodic rerendering of those caption layer tiles....
