I'm unable to reproduce this on a 1024x600 screen, but I'm pretty sure I've seen it before.

What resolution are you running?

I'm running at 1024x600 as well. Just pulled down today's build. Same behavior.

It looks like the unselected label and the selected label have different widths, so in some cases this shows up as the text "jumping" slightly, while in others it causes the word-wrapping to be different entirely. Most of the time it has no effect.

It seems to be fixable by changing line 400 of src/launcher-icon.c from:
clutter_actor_set_width (label, width);
to:
clutter_actor_set_width (label, width*0.98);

To produce the same width for both labels.

I applied this fix along with an overall simplification of the highlighting/unhighlighting animation that corrects some other oddness (like temporarily disappearing labels) in my branch:
