More confusing yet, if you look at the raw XML for that record (add viaf.xml to the end of the URI and then view source) you’ll see that the name type is indeed Geographic.

Thanks Owen, I haven't seen that the first time. I guess you got that mixed 110/151 when limiting to 'exact name'. Perhaps Andrew has a workaround.
