This problem occurs because both labels have the same zIndex in this situation, 
a zindex which is 1 higher than the zindex shared by the markers. This means 
the two labels appear above BOTH markers, causing visual confusion. The 
solution would involve putting the label's div inside the corresponding marker 
div but this is not possible because Google does not provide an API to return 
the marker div.

I don't have a good workaround for you at present. An easy fix would be 
possible if Google provided a method for returning the div used for placing the 
marker on the map.

Is there any news to this issue? Or has anyone figured out a workaround for it?

No easy workaround identified. If Google were to provide a method for returning 
the DIV of the parent marker, the problem could very likely be fixed.

Has a request about a method to return the marker div been filed in 
gmaps-api-issues? ( http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/ )

I have looked around there but haven't found anything about this, Maybe a good 
idea would be to file a request?

This issue cannot be resolved without an API change from Google.

i was thinking in using the zindex and the labelzindex and give values based on 
it up and left positions

ive tested with random values and it seems to work, but i can´t reach the  
exacly formula that would make it possible

any ideas?

I have looked at this long and hard and I believe the only solution is as 
indicated in #1 above. i.e., an API change is required so that access to the 
DIV containing the marker.

As a possible fix you could try setting a z-index and background colour to your 
marker labels. You'll have to set the width of the marker label to match the 
marker itself but gmaps scales it really nicely.

Works well for me.
