Comment:

Pending review.

FWIW, this is an intentional part of the design, not a flaw.
The needed enhancement (AIUI) is how to skip the automatic padding for
placement= LEFT,RIGHT,TOP,BOTTOM so v.label.sa can place the label
without worry that it will be by moved overly helpful rendering
code later on.

i.e. how to accomplish the desired result without using
"xref=yref=NONE", which to me is an incorrect and confusing terminology.
Perhaps LEFT_0 and BOTTOM_0 could mean bottom-left with no-padding, or
better yet, v.label.sa could position relative to CENTER,CENTER, which
is not padded.

more later today or tomorrow once I study it properly, the
above is from old memory,

Hamish
