My questions are: 1) Was this simply an oversight in the original import and expansion? 2) Would this be a good candidate for bot fixup? It seems like a regex wouldn't be so hard.
The original import and expansion took a conservative approach, and limited automatic expansion to common directional names which were also crosschecked by the TIGER attributes and matched the formats most widely seen in the US. This example which contains 2 directional names would not have been touched by automated expansion.
If you are very familiar with the naming conventions in the organizations which assign the names, a regex might be the best solution for you. Of course everyone is afraid of an accidental expansion of "County Road W" to "County Road West", but you may be able to quickly confirm locally that no single-letter road names are assigned.
A related issue that you might already be addressing is that the addr:street value should match the road name for Nominatim to work. I wouldn't necessarily expect it to match without the same "County Road West 50 South" in both.
