I still go with my original guess:

but it could be:
yes, the behavior of the geocoder changed.

Perhaps your issue is a regression, perhaps it is by design, we don't
have any insight into that.

You could try creating an "issue" in the issue tracker, but as v2 is
officially deprecated, I wouldn't expect much.  I do expect that the
same backend is used for both v2 and v3 and the geocoding webservice,
so if you get the issue in the right place, it might get attention,
but I don't know where that would be.

As Mike Williams used to say "never trust a geocoder".
