The only thing that seems off is the Buy Box Winner being out of stock. If they're out of stock, some other seller should be the Buy Box Winner. Otherwise it misleadingly looks like everyone is out of stock for that title—which is bad for buyers, bad for sellers, and bad for Amazon.

Indeed.

This seems somewhat similar to the issue that often the buy box seller does not ship to the buyer country (but some other seller, e.g. Amazon, would ship).
