Actually there is a vendor option to control the minimum goodness of fit, it's called "goodnessOfFit" and you can set it to, for example: VendorOption name="goodnessOfFit">0.2</VendorOption> to get thin polygons to be labelled anyways (that makes it possible to label a polygon which a label that's 5 times larger than the polygon itself). Hmm... but I see the documentation has not been updated. Done that now.
