Comment (by lonvia):

 One can certainly find good arguments for concluding that it is derived
 from the interpolation way or the interpolation address or no OSM object
 at all. The current interpretation goes for the address point and returns
 the interpolated coordinate as well. That might not be ideal but it is
 perfectly valid and, more importantly, the current state of the nominatim
 API. I wouldn't classify it as a bug.

 The website used to respect the coordinate that nominatim returns in the
 search result. It was decided to get rid of that, fine. But it also means
 the site now somehow has to handle these corner cases by itself.
