Hi,
You're right, this clearly is a problem.
I believe that it stems from the overlapping of many dataLabels from different series.
Take a look at these examples:
1. if we disable the dataLabels on the first series then the clusters appear correctly as no dataLabels from other series overlap the clusters:

2. if we set
allowOverlap: true on the first series the clusters labels also show up:

These demos may point you to some kind of custom solution that fits your needs while the bug persists.
Please report this as a bug on our GitHub repository:
https://github.com/highcharts/highchart ... .md&title= so our Map Developers can take a look and start working on it.
Best regards!
