This is most definitely a problem with Gosmore. The fact is, most roundabouts do not have names, and artificially giving them one to make a renderer (or routing program) happy is tagging for the renderer. Even if a roundabout did have a name, I'd be happier if the routing software just said "turn onto roundabout, take second exit on Smith Highway" than if it said "turn onto Great Circle, turn onto Smith Highway". Names on roundabouts are so uncommon that I'd be looking for a road called Great Circle.
Or are you saying that if the entry and exit roads and roundabout all have the same name it ignores the roundabout entirely, and this behaviour is what is broken? That's not too hard a fix to do in a program. Anything marked as a junction or roundabout should be getting special treatment anyway. It shouldn't matter if the roundabout has no name, the name of the street you're on, or the name of a different crossing street, as long as it is marked as a roundabout. It's still a bug if it causes a problem.
