If you don't want to touch maplabel.js, you can add this function to change the z-index of the parent of the labels (although if you have other canvas elements, you may need to alter the function):

//change the z-index of the canvas elements parents to move them above polygon layer
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function(){
//var canvasElements = document.getElementsByTagName('canvas');//plain js to get the elements
var canvasElements = jQuery('canvas'); //jquery for easy cross-browser support
