I think Ed has hit the nail on the head here. All your mechanical edit 
does is correct one tiny part of the mapping, and possibly to no great 
effect - it's just the text of the name that's getting corrected under a 
limited set of circumstances.

However, if local mappers could somehow be alerted to this small 
discrepancy, they would probably spot other things in the same area that 
needed updating at the same time. They might not go looking for them 
otherwise.

Finding small problems like this does have an advantage, but it looks 
like fixing them mechanically is actually missing the opportunity to 
improve the map in other ways at the same time.
