I agree. I have to admit that I have never seen this constellation in
real life so far (mostly riding in the last years in the surrounding 70
km of Bielefeld).

The example in the wiki
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Neuss_Stephanstr_dsc01113.jpg
has some features of a separate way, which would justify a separate
mapping in my opinion. (Commentary there: "Note: The Cycle Lane is part
of the highway but somehow separated by rubber elements. In Germa[n]y,
some kind of separation is mandatory as long [a]s the speed limit is
above 30 km/h.")

Concerning this special case:

I looked up the street on the picture - currently it is tagged as
bicycle=use_sidepath foot=use_sidepath ( :-| ) and the cycle lanes
together with the footway tagged wrongly with segregated=no (this tag
unchanged since 2010, maybe the segregation is newer...). 2013 someone
deleted a "cycleway=track", 2 years ago someone added the lights...

In this example it would be sensible to keep the own way because it
separates completely from the carriageway a few 100 m farther away. I
wouldn't say that in this case this is wrong.  Otherwise you would have
to lead the cycleway onto the street, create a connection from the
street to the separating cycleway the and lead the way back from the
street again. That describes the situation worse than the actual
mapping. (carriageway: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/775056139
cycleway/footway: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/43112473). (I put a
note on the map that it may be discussed and fixed by the local mappers).
