Comment:
As you guessed right, these are all rather data problems in OSM and not
bugs with Nominatim itself, so this is not the right forum to discuss
those. Try the local mailing list
([http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us talk-us] in this case)
where there are experienced mappers that can help you understand what is
wrong and how to fix it.
For what it's worth, short comments for your examples:
United States: that's quite normal, the bounding box includes Alaska and
Hawaii.
Phoenix, Arizona: the [http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/254038
city boundary] is badly broken and that is all that Nominatim could
salvage.
Tempe, Arizona: the ranking is an actual guessing error by Nominatim (it
considers the university more important)
Mesa, Arizona: again a
[http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/relation/110815 badly damaged city
boundary]
