Tweets outside of bounding box showing up when using the streaming API

Hi,

I'm using the streaming API (with the public stream) and have set up a location filter for the following boundary box:

-0.01815319061279297, 51.537446989286856, -0.014891624450683594, 51.53984933848655

(The London Olympic Stadium)

However I'm seeing tweets from well outside of that bounding box, for instance this one:

https://twitter.com/Blackburn85/status/231714033563205632/photo/1

Which is roughly 5 miles outside of that bounding box.

Is this a bug or expected behaviour ?
