mmm the problem with it being a "Google Bug" doesn't really help us at all.

In my experience with these so called Bugs is that they take an age to be acknowledged and even longer if at all to be fixed.

To be honest whilst looking at my serps for my market place i would have to agree that they are good - the other top nine that where previously there are still there now - its only me thats lost out and of course i am a relevant site to the UK market which for four years Google has agreed until now.

I have a few outbounds to US sites on a small links page so may change this and see what affect it has.

However you often see on shopping sites aimed at one regional market that they say something like "US Visitor then visit our partner site at something.com" and vice versa for the US sites. So I doubt that the links are causing it but its worth a go.
