Google Maps does something like this and it results in 'bannered' routes appearing without banners.
Seems like renderer and/or data issues at Google. Neither would surprise me, given the number of routes that render numbers as names without shields, and for how long Google was insisting US 30 was really Québec Provincial Route 355 nationwide. That said, just because Google can't do that right shouldn't have any influence on us getting it right. Let's not throw out a Good Idea just because some renderer we don't even use gets it wrong on data we don't even touch.
