It seems that dipslay_name internally in mkgmap is not allowed to be set 
to "name". If identical it will not be set at all. Or is this really a 
Garmin limitation?
To me it seems to be rather an mkgmap bug.
As far as I can tell, this behaviour was added by Mark's highway shield "crap" patch.

I think this change in Subdivision.java is responsible:

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

You can see the additional label will only be added if it differs from the name after the Garmin codes have been stripped from the name.

Cheers.
