I have the same problem with symbian MobileXT. What I do is generate all 
labels/streetnames in uppercase and insert a lowercase text somewhere in 
the label.

"aeiou BURGER KING" will then appear as "BURGER KING" in POI search. 
Street "aeiou JALAN BATU TIGA LAMA" will appear as "Continue to ????? 
JALAN BATU TIGA LAMA" during navigation.

Not perfect, but good enough for testing your maps on MobileXT :)
