That would be easy to realize. For mulitpolygons one could also check if 
there is a point with role "label" and use this point for the POI.

Did you try the patch? I think you no longer need any rule in the 
polygons file. For each polygon (no matter if there is a rule or not) a 
POI is created and processed by the points style file.
So the solution is:
* Add a rule to your points style file
* Remove the rule from your polygons style file
(Please let me know if it works :-)
