Someone recently posted a patch to use left or right alignment of text
depending on which side of he pie you are on.  I think Michael was
going to commit that if noone objected, and it seems like a good idea
to me.  That will probably help.  The main poblem I see  problem in
your example is the labeldistance is too large, try 1.1 or 0.9 and see
if that helps.
