Multipolygon handling is pretty bad in general, not just for city
labels.  In particular, support for multipolygons with more than one
outer way is not up to par.  (Try creating several disconnected
buildings, marking them as outer polygons and tagging the whole thing as
a building or shop, and watch them disappear from the rendering
entirely!)

You could really classify this as a subcase of "relations are not
handled very well/thoroughly".
