I narrowed it down to a place poi of 0x0100 that Mapsource didnt like:

(place=sea | place=ocean) & mkgmap:area2poi!=true & name=* [0x0100 resolution 16]

As soon as I skipped this tile with the sea name, the poi names of capital cities and countries are rendered ok.
With this tile in it, pois disappear from 15 and lower (strange, because the sea names are only until 16).
This bug only shows up in Mapsource, in Basecamp it is rendered fine.
I have to test further if I can use other poi types instead of 0x0100...
