google-maps has many other data sources to choose from other than google-base data.
there are only 53 or so total google-base entries with restaurants as the item-type; the many thousands of entries within maps are not necessarily from google-base data -- if any. yes, there is no way to get the same google-maps data from google-base; they use different data sources. real-testing is on a different data-set so the results will not be the same as within google-maps. i believe it's not a bug at all but a difference in the underlying data.
