That simply is a mapping problem. DBpedia should (as in "defined in their ontology") use RDF Schema for geo locations, ie geo:lat and friends. If there is no such assertion for any given entity while there are dbpprob:long (or whatever) predicates pointing to a spatial location, this would be considered a bug - please report it. Georgi Kobilarov wrote a blog posting about this problem and how the MappingBasedExtractor solved it: http://blog.georgikobilarov.com/2008/10/dbpedia-rethinking-wikipedia-infobox-extraction/ Simply put, they're mapping all those long, lon, l, longDegrees, lonD etc to RDF Schema. Does this clear up things a bit?
