I can only guess, as you do, that it's something to do with the way the highways have been drawn. It's a whole lot better now that Mapsforge renders pathtext along curved paths but it's still far from ideal.
I think @Emux knows most about this.

Voluntary V5 LE which is compatible with both OAM and LoMaps shows names for lakes etc on Lomaps at zoom 16 and above. For technical reasons connected with  compatibility with OAM maps I don't show lake names on Lomaps below that.
Install the latest Voluntary theme for Locus from https://voluntary.nichesite.org


PS OAM takes the named area for a lake and creates a named point at the centre that appears at differing zoom levels, depending on the lake size.

Sorry, I completely forgot to upload the graphics for OSMC. Hopefully now corrected!
Screenshot is v5 on OAM on my phone, so it does work!

The latest version of the Voluntary themes now supports OAM maps and both new and old LoMaps.
It also supports OSMC hiking trail markers (in Hiking style). See link below.

@Tapio
In my experience it's usually caused by portions of the map being rendered twice, due to having two overlapping maps covering the same area and Automatic map loading turned on for Vector maps (Offline).

In the current non-beta LM4, I can't find any themes in the store.  (I answered a question in another thread related to themes, so I was curious.)  I spent some time in the store totally lost, then found the "+" icon at the bottom of the theme switcher, which brought me to an empty page on the store.

*None* of the themes in the store would work with the new LoMaps! I don't know what the plans for the store are.
However the Voluntary theme is now compatible with old and new LoMaps as well as OAM maps. You can download it from https://voluntary.nichesite.org

Yes, the lines are due to transparent tiles overlapping slightly. If you remove the transparency, the lines will go - as long as you have no strokes there.
The tiles don't overlap at certain zoom levels so the problem is limited to certain zoom levels.

At present I'm concentrating on unifying the display of the Voluntary theme for both LoMaps and maps from OAM.

Edit: OAM seems to render waymarked *nodes* while Lomaps renders the waymarked *ways*.

The new LoMaps now available in the Locus Store are much more mainstream Mapsforge but require updated themes. A preliminary version of Voluntary is now available for download from the link below. Please delete your old version in Locus first.

No

You didn't mention removing all mention of "dp"...

Like @karlchick I don't want to render all areas as semi transparent. I believe OAM removes layer=-1 from tunnels in preprocessing and allows tunnels to be rendered by the theme with skillful use of transparency and position in the theme. I prefer this and I think it gives a better result overall.
The reason @karlchick can't get cycle route blobs to behave as wanted in tunnels (or on bridges) is because Lomaps treats all hiking, cycling and MTB routes as separate ways which don't inherit the tag values of the highways they follow. So the road has a tunnel tag but the cycle route does not.
Edit: @karlchick You'll also find that your cycle blobs are missing from the bridge (adjacent to the tunnel) in the Lomaps version. They have been drawn on layer 0, underneath the bridge layer, as the cycle route doesn't inherit the layer tag either.

I think @settler may be correct about the river name taking unwanted priority. If I recollect correctly, I found pathtexts didn't  respect display priorities I had set. But I can't remember the details.

Thanks.
It looks like I can force railway bridges over roads to render correctly without the correct layer tag (easy change) and also railway over railway (but I'm not sure if the added complexity to allow for incorrect mapping is merited).
Screenshot is of your location with modified theme.

The modified theme is available from:
https://voluntary.nichesite.org/downloads.html
https://voluntary.nichesite.org/beta.html

I confirm @karlchick's general analysis.

An example of this can be seen in the attached first pair of images showing LoMap/OAM with the latest v5 Voluntary theme, see how the mtb route is displayed in LoMap with blue/purple blobs but in OAM is only purple blobs.

OAM can display hiking, cycle and MTB networks at the same time  what it can't do is display more than one of each type of route at the same time. It always selects the "higher" route. International routes are preferred over national ones and so on.

The blue blobs on the MTB route in Voluntary in the Lomaps version are incorrect. There are not both MTB and bike routes along that road.  In the original map data, MTB networks may have values of icn, ncn, rcn, lcn like cycling networks. OAM changes those to imn, nmn, rmn, lmn to avoid confusion. I was testing on the network value which was ok for OAM but ambiguous for Lomaps. I have adjusted the test and the MTB route displays correctly in the latest beta version Voluntary V5 LE from https://voluntary.nichesite.org/beta.html

The latest Voluntary V5 LE  beta also shows highlighting on Lomaps as seen in the screenshot below.
