That the name is blank is a bug in your (or the default) style: the polygons all have a name tag: "place_name". That's the tag used for a period of time for places in OSM, and we should use that if no name tag is there. The best solution is really to use the option I wrote already here in the thread.
The bigger problem is, that the tags for the place node and the place polygon from your examples are even conflicting :(
On of the both (polygon or node) needs to be deleted and the other one should be corrected. But since I don't know the area, I cannot say which of the two is the correct one and fix it.

I just had a look at these places on OSM and indeed, they have both a POI "Village" (or "Hamlet", etc) with the set name (e.g. Cumnor), and around a polygon also called "Village" with no set name. I assume the blank name comes from this unnamed polygon then. Is this what you mention? So does that violate OSM rules for naming areas/villages?
Also, you say the style itself has a bug: so is the bug in the map, in the style, or both? Should all "place=XXX" entries in points style file be followed with "& name=*"? Or should we use the option "--name-tag-list=name,place_name" or simply change mkgmap so that it does not add unnamed place_name to the map? Sorry to be daft but this is a bit confusing, considering the possible bug reasons and workarounds. The bug is in osm-data. But with changing the style, you could remove the effects of the bug in osm-data. But I think this shouldn't be done in default-style because of the side-effects.
Finally, if the mkgmap default style has a bug, how to report this? Write a mail to this mailinglist ;)
