I think this issue can be closed as all the links provide correct results:

This was just an example of the many times this happens. After a couple of days/weeks the error gets corrected. I presume automatically as I presume the data is parsed from the IMDB nightly database dumps they release.

I would love to know how the data is actually parsed or updated, but unfortunately there isn't any code on this github. For now I can only assume there are errors in the parser that cause this issue, which means this issue is still relevant. The examples just no longer are.
