Can you give an example? I think the most likely outcome is that the address is simply wrong—not non-compliant, but not referring to the intended or actual address. In many cases with complex or weird postal addresses, it is probably preferable to use the postalAddress component instead, which gives you 6 lines (alas limited to 30 characters each).
