Thanks Mark, It's good to know it's not just me! I usually just assume I am being a bit dim.

My SLD validates and I spent ages trying all sorts of different things without luck. I didn't follow the problem up with GeoTools (I think it's a problem in their basic renderer) because I stopped using labels anyway. Not very helpful... just letting you know that it's not just you!
