I haven't had time to properly think about this. But if you want to give it a try, here's a possible, but completely untested solution:

Change the lines from my previous e-mail in Subdivision.java to the following:

				if(trSansGC.length() > 0 &&
				   (!trSansGC.equalsIgnoreCase(nameSansGC) || !r.equalsIgnoreCase(name))) {
					//System.err.println("Adding ref " + tr + " to road " + name);
					pl.addRefLabel(lblFile.newLabel(tr));
				}

and it might work. 

Then again, it might not. ;-)

Cheers.
