How about http://osm.org/go/WIdREBKcE-- ?  Note, the N/S road is split 
in two parts at this intersection, as it is oneway=yes on both sides in 
opposite directions.  Since the street is so short, it loses both name 
labels just two zooms out.  Of course, rendering the mini-roundabout at 
lower zooms doesn't help.
