Hello,
You point out a good examples of corner cases where the annotation of 
the SNP by dbSNP is confusing. We mention when we also notice 
discrepancies on the UCSC Browser's track description page (click 
through the rs number in the assembly display, scroll down to 
"Annotation:" for the details).

We recommend sending these examples to the dbSNP team. Specific test 
cases will likely be helpful to them. [email protected]

Thank you,
