For some time I have personally been extending the not:name tag to record these type of errors/mismatches.
Usually I do something like not:external_source:tag_name, thus original not:names would become something like not:oslocation:name=XXX. These are a) useful for other mappers (primary use case); and b) potentially useful for original data providers. However, as the data is in OSM there are licence issues; and the original providers are one step away in many cases (FHRS data is created by councils). So far the only feedback mechanism I have found works is direct messages to the original data providers. Mainly I send corrections for street names to the OS. I rarely try & correct FHRS data except on a particular occasion when too much personal data was being shown on the website for private addresses where details of addresses should not be published. As I've said before, there's a high degree of variability in how different councils manage FHRS data, but one gets a reasonable idea after adding data in one place.
