I notice exactly the same problem here but differently.  I'm hacking the php
sources to see if I can get more data.  I'm just lacking postal codes, 
streetsetc are working.  I do notice that nominatim's version of my
 problem data isless accurate in the same zoom level.

My own:

I did hack more vars in the output (distance etc) but the thing is, I zoom to
village level and it correctly gives me 'Walem', that is exactly correct, 
the bigger city that belongs to is 'Mechelen'.

I only count about 250 records with postal code in the placex table, which has
all the streets though... really strange you see this too
