Actually, I think I know what might be going on. The property is
clearly within the suburb of Annerley, however, the property's
associatedStreet *is itself a suburb boundary*.

Maybe Nominatim is unable to deduce the suburb of such properties -
maybe it flips a coin, and in this case it got it wrong.
