It has to do with this tag in the default.render.xml: https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-resources/blob/master/rendering_styles/default.render.xml#L4615
or copied here: <case minzoom="11" maxzoom="16" tag="place" value="island" nameTag="" textSize="14" textOrder="113"/> Because Great Britain is tagged as an island, that line becomes active in relatively high zoomlevels 11-16. For small islands that is exactly what you want. For Great-Britain it is a nuisance. An option could be to lower the textOrder importance (= a higher value). so something like: <case minzoom="11" maxzoom="16" tag="place" value="island" nameTag="" textSize="14" textOrder="213"/> But that would also reflect on small islands and would need some tweaking and trying out.
