I just sent Bing a nasty-gram about this. Thanks for the info!
After reading the hyperlink AlanOfTheBerg posted it suggests that the 3rd party vendor gives Waze the GPS coordinates... So if a Wazer like myself gives Waze the correct coordinates can it be updated that way?

When entering the address 215 N. Main St.
Lockhart, TX it gives you directions to
Fentress, TX incorrectly. I have not figured out how to fix incorrect route destination. My Permalink I provided will show Lockhart in the upper area & Fentress in the lower. I did notice that if I do not place the address number in the Lockhart destination it will take me there. But enter the address number & it takes you to Fentress...

Waze does seem to be pulling the Bing result here:

This is covered in the FAQ:
http://www.waze.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ# ... ocation.3F. If you search on maps.bing.com, you'll find the address results match exactly with [useless]bing results.
Until Waze starts to use their internal address database, there's not a whole lot to do to fix it. Following the instructions and links in the FAQ may help eventually, though, too.
