My findings with your v3 patch:
1-Streets are now correctly assigned to cities, instead of suburbs or 
nearest (wrong) cities. Great!
2-State/Province field now includes regions and provinces, not only 
regions as with v2 of your patch. Spanish regions (admin_level=4 
according to [1]) are formed by one or generally more than one province 
(admin_level=6), so every province is part of a region. According to 
that, a place found in a province should also be found in the matching 
region, but this is not the case; some places are assigned to provinces 
and others are assigned to regions.
3-A new country has appeared in the Mediterranean coast of Spain, called 
Maresme;Barcelona;Catalunya;España (coming from node 418639079 or way 
37229141). Another buggy new country is Vega de Valcarce;León;Castilla y 
León;España,Europe (node 474558975)
4-"España" and "Europe" are found under State/Province.
5-The problem with State/Province info not taken into account when the 
country field is filled in any of the search tabs remains.
