Bus stops tend to be a lot closer to the road than houses, and don't tend to stop on corners, so I struggle to envisage a situation where it is actually ambiguous. Any ambiguity could probably be resolved by simply putting the node closer to the correct road. If it's only a small number of cases, it's unlikely anyone would bother processing the relation data (they'd just accept a tiny error rate).
