I'm only marginally familiar with the maidenhead stuff, but I believe it's
something that maps lat/lon to some sort of location identifiers.  My
guess is that some calculations got screwed up (and note that all four of
the error cases are producing the same result).  There's probably too
much intermediate breakage to make "git bisect" useful, but one could
compare intermediate results between working and non-working cases.
