When you put a definition in "polygons" file, then mkgmap creates a 
polygon from this definition. I assume that poi was what you needed, so 
moving definition to "points" corrected your problem.

There was a change in mkgmap in release about 29xx, which disallowed for 
wrong types in a style. Actually 0x6508 is wrong value for a polygon. I 
think earlier version of mkgmap silently converted this value to 0x65, 
which allowed for compilation but could create other map than expected.
