Comment:

 That result is not really wrong but a result of generous fuzzy matching
 and the ordering is correct.

 There was an issue with Nominatim being to generous with including
 surrounding postcode points when a postcode area was available but that
 has been fixed in
 https://github.com/twain47/Nominatim/commit/5d87136969dc13951ddddac346ffd0cd95dc1326

 I've forced an reindex on your example address now and you'll see that the
 second result is gone. Addresses of other roads will gradually follow as
 the data gets changed in OSM.
