I think that's the size of it; so far as I can see the geocoder is
provided by Google to extract some/any kind of location from user's
mangled input, which makes it inherently unsuitable for address
validation (or the partial validation you require)

Yep, they do that.  For most use-cases it would be an enhancement.
One of the real maps gurus often said "never trust a geocoder",
they're never more than a best-guesser.
Only the end user knows what they really mean, hence maps.google.com
"Did you mean?" feature.  API developers can produce their own
tailored version (e.g. in your case it might be geographically
limited)
