http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Copyright_Easter_Eggs It's pretty straight-forward, if you are 100% sure that the road exists and the name is what it says it is then it's not such a big deal. But one thing I learned from mapping my own area: the maps you buy are *wrong* in so many places. Maybe easter eggs, maybe bugs. In either case, don't make the assumption that just because you paid money for it or that it looks like an official looking printed map that it's actually accurate. I seem to recall someone telling me that one bug per square kilometer is not an unrealistic estimate.
