The following rule fixed it for me:
highway=* & name=* & (name='cycleway' | name ~ '.*(cycleway).*')
        {delete mkgmap:street}

but I still think there is a bug in mkgmap.

name='Sandwall (cycleway)'
mkgmap:street='Sandwall (cycleway)'
addr:street='Sandwall'

addr:street does neither match name nor mkgmap:street, so
why is "Sandwall (cycleway)" choosen for address search and
not "Sandwall" itself?
