This seems strange to me too. This problem apears only with demo boards and
not with my projects (6 boards).
I try to zoom more but nothing change, netnames show on tracks but not on
pads. Is there someone who experiment the same issue ?

I remark some difference between Cairo backend and OpenGL backend. With
OpenGL backend, netnames are covered by the other tracks or copper zone,
whereas with Cairo, netnames are mixed up with over item. I attached
pictures of the different backends results.
