do you mean the centroid "+" (or other symbol) must be displayed to also get the display=attribute for an area? if so that sounds line a recent regression. if you leave it as display=shape,attribute of course you will get the shape (ie symbol) as well. as you must well know, but for the sake of the discussion, areas are virtual features fundamentally tied to centroids.
