I have updated the documentation for 6.2 by including
a reference to MAXOVERLAPANGLE in the description of
ANGLE FOLLOW.

Hi,

For same kind of need (i.e hydrologic line to label), i've found that:
  - Your lines must be long enough to allow the label to fit on (seems already 
your case, as it works for you without ANGLE FOLLOW)
  - You have to increase MAXOVERLAPANGLE property
  - Your lines have to be as smooth as possible


Below a sample of such a thing with two layers, one with the data itself and 
one another using a generalization trought PostGIS ST_Simplify to help the 
geometry to be smoother enough
