so far "place=capital | place=capitol" worked very well that's why I 
put/proposed it in the default style. Have you checked that there are 
actual capital cities, not capitol or capital?
For the mail here I just named one...

You can also look if those capitals of lower admin. districts are part of a relation lower < admin_level=2 to filter them out. So this way I think you can avoid that capital cities / towns that are either too small or not a capital of a nation are rendered too early.
