In Switzerland, ATC and other pilots, strongly prefer to only ever use names of places that are listed on the official ICAO chart.

SkyDemon has a couple of issues:

1) There are places listed in SkyDemon that are not on the ICAO chart.
2) There are places on the ICAO chart _not_ listed on SkyDemon.

The first is a larger problem, since a pilot may be tempted to report their position using a name not listed on the ICAO chart, and the ATC or other pilots in the area would have no idea.

What kinds of workarounds are available to alleviate this issue?

Use official VRPs and proper aviation designated points when reporting your position. You'll find that no two charts are alike in their choice of basemap, and since towns and cities are not aeronautical data, consistency between two charts is not possible in this aspect, especially when vector charts like SkyDemon are infinitely zoomable so places will appear and disappear depending on zoom level.
