As far as I can see, \defineregister, or more precisely
\dodefinieerregister, completely ignores its second argument.  I guess
the #1 in the \setvalue lines (but not the other lines) of

    \setvalue{\e!plaats#1}%
      {\doplaatsregister[#1]}%
    \setvalue{\e!volledige#1}%
      {\dovolledigregister[#1]}%

should be #2.  But that would change \completeindex to \completeindices,
which would again contradict the manual, so below therewould have to be
another change, from

\definieerregister
   [\v!index]
   [\v!indices]

to

\definieerregister
   [\v!index]
   [\v!index]

Note that \placestreet and \completestreet do work.
