I don't see why it would be a bug. You should feel free to file a feature
request though. Or a request on Commons to improve the Wikidata Infobox
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Wikidata_Infobox> template.

If not I'm wondering if you can suggest an alternative approach that might

You could get the linked Wikidata item and see if it has some sort of
location-related property. (With the Eiffel Tower category that's Q6741108
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6741108> and then you follow the
"category's main topic" property to Q243
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q243> and that has "country" and "location"
properties, but with Wikidata it is always hard to know how consistent the
data structure is across many items.

Alternatively, there are many third party geolookup APIs which can convert
a coordinate into country, city etc.
