Fire Eagle and changes in the way lat/long placemarks are defined

I've defined some locations for hotels outside the U.S. where I frequently stay, using lat/long coordinates. Here's one:

And here's another that I defined a number of weeks later:

http://brightkite.com/places/9788c228...

Note that in the first case, the location shows the name I defined, along with the lat/long coordinates in parentheses. The second shows the name I defined, but in parentheses it shows only the country code of the location (PH). The latter behavior (country code only) seems to occur with all the new locations I've created this way.

One problem is that when Brightkite updates Fire Eagle with one of these new locations, it updates the location not with the lat/long coordinates but with the country only, as if I'd gone to Fire Eagle and simply typed in "Philippines" as my location. This puts me at a considerable distance from my actual location.

Is this a bug, or is something else happening that I don't understand?
