Missing Street Number Data in MapPoint 2004

When I try to geocode '442 Third St, Neptune Beach, FL 32266' in MapPoint 2004 North American Edition, one successful result is returned, but there is no street number, just '3rd St, Neptune Beach, FL 32266' in the 300-block of 3rd St North (even though this address is in the next block south).

I first noticed the lack of street number when I was programmatically geocoding this address, and I wouldn't have thought twice about it except that MapPoint 2002 NA correctly returned '442 3rd St...'.

I confirmed this by running MP2002 and used the 'Find' button to locate this address; sure enough, MP2002 returned '442 3rd St...'.

But when I ran MP2004 and used the 'Find' button to locate this address, it returned '3rd St, Neptune Beach, FL 32266'.

Did Microsoft (or one of its data suppliers) lose some data in moving from MapPoint 2002 to MapPoint 2004 ?

Just as background, I installed MP2004 in addition to the existing MP2002 installation. Is this some sort of bizarre installation bug ?

Thanks
