Searching for (for examaple) SN1 1BT gives a correct street in Swindon and an alternative north of Birmingham. This second is listed as being 17km North East of Swindon - which it isn't - not nearly. I think it means Birmingham.

Not a bug. The second Swindon is not the Swindon the user thinks it is: it is this village http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=52.5141&lon=-2.2036&zoom=13&layers=B0FT for which Bridge Street is indeed 17km from.
