The idea, taken in a vacuum without knowledge of personalities, seems correct. There are many more examples, like highway=* things that are not highways. I don't think we need a page for it, but it should be somewhere in beginners documentation that the key and any non-name values may not be exact matches (or maybe even "wrong") in your local usage and language.
Generally I think there are a lot of "false friends" in tagging. For obvious reasons this is very likely more pronounced for non-native or non-Britsh users. Other examples at least for the Germans would be village_green, green-, or brownfield...
But on the other hand I am not sure if a dedicated page would really solve the underlying problem. I would prefer to add the information to the description pages themselves, as this is where people look for information on tags. So I would rather suggest to use some template for this to show common misunderstandings or misconceptions. Perhaps we could also add a category so it wouldn't be either-or but as-well-as.
