Find My shows gibberish for city/region etc. in eastern europe

When viewing relatives' in Find My back in Europe (Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia) their location shows as some nonsense like " , 18" rather than the town, region, or country they're in.

This used to work, but stopped a couple of years ago.

I've opened a couple of Feedback tickets over the last couple of years, but they've seen zero activity and after numerous iOS and macOS updates, there's been no improvement in the behavior, so it's been recommended to me that I point out the question here. Here are the links:

Is anyone else seeing this sort of behavior?

Thank you for taking the time to file those reports. Do you see better behavior in iOS 18 beta 3?

Hi. Thanks for reaching out. I will see what devices I have available and will try to test.
