Well, *here* [1] (in The Netherlands), the *web* version *does* return
hits ("Gulf of America"), both for "Gulf of Mexico" *and* for "Gulf of
America" and clicking the "Gulf of America" hit gives you a pin in the
Gulf. The only 'positive' thing is that the label below the pin is "Gulf
of Mexico".
Bottom line: Apple is a bit confused, but has not (yet?) caved in! :-)
[1] The news reports have indicated that (Mexico versus America) results
depend on the country of the user.
