missing contour line labels

Hi,

This script draws pressure contours over a map on a native grid. Can
anyone guess why it does not draw contour line labels?

I've tried explicitly setting many resource attributes for contour line
labels and drawing order... the script below is stripped to bare
essentials but still does not draw line labels as it should by default.

I don't need to attach 2D lat/lon attribute data to draw the contour map
since "res@tfDoNDCOverlay = True" (it's not to be projected by NCL).
Does that somehow create problems for contour line labels? The pmsl
array is dimensioned pmsl(nx:ny) when read from NetCDF file.

I'm running NCL version 4.2.0.a030
