The Great Britain multipolygon relation with the place=island tag does not
include any Northern Island coastline ways.
The problem here is a classic cartographical one. How do you render
information relating to a physically large geographical area without
obscuring information relating to smaller areas or points. Thus is hugely
complex in the modern world of computer generated zoomable maps. In the
case we are looking at the decision on whether on to render the text
probably needs to be based on the size of the geographical are that it
relates to, this is computationally intensive. The Great Britain
multipolygon has many thousands of points. The decision on where to render
the text is even more difficult. The latest version of Osmand will render
island names at level 16 and higher. Unfortunately they will sometimes
obscure detail at higher rendering levels.
One possible approach might be something like a hectare(age) tag on a
relationship. The current renderer could use this as input.

There is more :(
When looking at say the Isle of Wight (a large island close to the south
coast of England, near Southampton) you see text "Isle of Wight" obscuring
the detail at zoom level 0.25 miles down to Zoom level 2 yd. Who needs
it? If we must have it, why not at Zoom levels more like 5 miles or 10
miles? It is not currently visible there, but could be useful! (IMHO)
