Indeed - a tiny number, and of the list at 
http://www.cbrd.co.uk/c-roads/signs.shtml, quite a few seem to be 
temporary or works signs (i.e. more for local council edification than 
for general consumption). But yes, a few are.

That was the unspoken second half of my question. ;)

At, say, http://osm.org/go/eu2jYNcA-- , there's the A5189. Routing 
software that says "turn right here for the A5189" will confuse the 
user, because it's not signposted as such anywhere. (I think it's mostly 
"(A444)" or "(A38)" or somesuch.) So "unsigned" tagging could be useful 
in this case, too.
