I don't agree that "it follows that automatic conversion of addr:place to addr:suburb is wrong".

OpenStreetMap is a project of continual change. As long as the change is making an improvement then I think it's good. So in this case, where addr:place has been incorrectly used for a settlement name, then changing it to addr:suburb is an improvement.

Only if addr:suburb is less incorrect that addr:place.

"Place" is neutral in that it makes no implication of absolute or relative size or importance, so in that respect it can never be wrong. "Suburb" on the other hand implies something about both size and importance, so it may be easy for it to be inappropriate.
