I wonder if it was truly an intentional 'trap street' or a genuine mistake? It would be hard to tell the difference. In Google's case they may be worried about their back end data being copied wholesale, in which case flagged streets would be too easy to remove, or perhaps it was a trap street in a third party data source, and they couldn't tell the difference to remove it. Or maybe it was just an honest error. Interesting that trap streets and errors make good cover for each other...
