With my version of mapnik (3.1.0) and XML styling, unlock_image="true" had no effect and the symbols were also moving with the text (dx/dy). Fix was to use attribute unlock-image="true"

### dx, dy
To draw labeled points configure `placement="point"` (which is the default) and set dx/dy to move the text.
dx, dy from TextSymbolizer moves only the text, and not the shield. This behavior will be changed in a future release of mapnik. (See below).

| unlock_image | True: Shield base point is always the input line/point (usecase: labeling bus stations). | 0

When symbols are still moving with dx/dy after setting unlock_image = true, try unlock-image="true" instead.
### placement
`placement="line"` only means placement along a line for ShieldSymbolizer, whereas for TextSymbolizer it rotates the text too. Add the `spacing` parameter to get the ShieldSymbolizer to repeat along the line, otherwise `placement="line"` and `placement="point"` will look the same.
