[Geocoding] local US nominatim reverse geocode does not return a state unless lat/lon is close to the state centroid

I ran into a similar issue recently while using a US geofabrik extract;
addresses in Philadelphia would return as being in New Jersey, and some
other state boundaries were also not reporting correctly when geocoding.  I
imported the states and re-indexed, which didn't work for me.  I also tried
making the extract myself from the full planet file, with the same result.
Eventually I wound up just using the full planet file.

Best,
Kathryn
