That ticket has nothing to do with the problem we're discussing here ;-)

The ticket is about how a shield is positioned relative to a POI, but 
we're talking about the positioning of text relative to the shield 
symbol that surrounds it.

We don't use shields for POIs anyway, only for linear objects like 
roads, so the issue in the ticket won't affect us at all as far as I can 
see.
