Correct! However there was also a problem with apostrophes which we have now fixed and it shows up a new set of errors. In Ipswich the OS seems to contradict the street signs (and OSM) in a number of places so possibly OS data is not so good in this respect, or possibly they are going by the legal name and the sign-writers were at fault. Fyi we are working on the ITO layer as you speak! We have fixed the apostropies issue which is on-line already but in the process we have broken the tests relating to footpaths and pedestrian routes generally. We are reinstating them within the next hour and then we should be fully functional. The one problem we can't resolve (as suggested above) is that when there are two features within the OS Locator bounding box with the same name then we will be happy with only one being present in the bounding box - one feature which even partially intersects with the OS Locator bounding box is good enough for us at present.
