Is a pharmacy not the same as shop=chemist with dispensing=yes? To my
mind it sounds like it. If there is a distinction, isn't it getting a
bit academic?

No. In a perfect world it should be

shop=pharmacy

Description : A shop where a pharmacist sells medications.

So "a shop"!:-)

My definition ... shop ... a place where physical goods are sold. 

not long ago (maybe even today?) pharmacies  were not only selling goods
but 
also producing many kinds of ointments and possibly other things as
ordered 
by the prescribing physician.

So "shop" would be a too narrow definition.
