A few suggestions:

case the pointer is hiding something. Or perhaps a checkbox to
temporarily hide the pointer
Huh... I'll look at that.
* You have a skip button, but no way to determine why it was
skipped. Perhaps add buttons or check boxes for the reason it
was skipped. This will allow revisiting those items that need
it by issue, like if better images become available, or better
methods for identifying the point. Possibly even manually
surveying the points. I think this is an important one to add.
Possible skip reasons I can think of. Poor image, empty parcel,
correct location, can't identify location from sat view
(apartment, multiple entrances, multiple buildings ect.)
Yes, there are lots of possible reasons. In the end though it's a
tradeoff between a fun and simple UI and data capture.
* Can you overlay a parcel outline to positively identify which
parcel (and it's limits) this refers to.
Nope, can't do that.

Who says it's being done for driving directions?
Is that/will that not be a popular use for OSM? It does not make
walking directions impossible - just requires the addition of the
driveway to the map. OTOH, putting the pin on the front door of a
building inside a large parcel may well leave a driver lost and
quite a distance from where he needs to be.

Is that really where we want the pin to be for driving
directions? I've mostly tended to either putting the
address info on a complete landuse polygon, or if a point,
placing it on the driveway, just off the street to which
it connects. I swear I read this somewhere as standard
practice, and it makes sense from a navigation standpoint,
particularly for rural parcels, where a "driveway" can be
hundreds of meters long and not mapped.
San Diego County, CA, USA has a bunch of address data from
a SanGIS import.
