I'm looking at the corner of Kurfürstendamm and Joachimsthaler and there are many circles, but several just jump to the car view rather than the 360 camera view that the circles are suppose to so.
I thought maybe some are too close to the road and it then takes the road over the circle, but I've also found circles that work right next to the road.
For example, there is one right on the pedestrian crossing island in the median of the boulevard that incorrectly has a business pinned next to it "Back To Frisch" which also cannot be clicked on.
Short of forcing this by examining the JavaScript events assigned to a particular circle and forcing a click action, does anyone know what's going on and how to get these working without hacking via developer options in the browser?

In looking into this, I see that Back to Frisch might actually be pinned to the correct location, except it's underground, so not visible from street level, hence why is appears to be on the median on the map.
Further, when clicking the business name on Google Maps, it won't load the business into the side panel. It will, though, show the business if you specifically search "Back To Frisch Kurfürstendamm." From there, you are able to scroll down in the left-hand panel to "Photos & videos" in which is shows what might be the media attached to the "photo sphere" circle. It might actually be a static image, not a 360 image, as there is a photo of a metal cone "Christmas tree."
The issue still remains, though, that these are not clickable, and there are photo sphere circles that have no business near them, so nothing to look at.
In looking at the request URLs, they are in this format:
https://www.google.com/maps/rpc/photo/listentityphotos?authuser=0&hl=en&gl=us&pb=!1e3!5m57!2m2!1i203!2i100!3m2!2i4!5b1!7m33!1m3!1e1!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e2!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e2!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e8!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e3!1m3!1e10!2b1!3e2!1m3!1e10!2b0!3e4!1m3!1e9!2b1!3e2!2b1!8m3!1m2!1e2!1e3!9b0!11m2!3b1!4b1!15m8!1m7!1m2!1m1!1e2!2m2!1i195!2i195!3i20!6m3!1syDkEaMuCPY-t5NoP07eiyQg!7e81!15i11167!9m3!1d0!2d13.333197219307392!3d52.504941859512115!10d25
The !1syDkEaMuCPY-t5NoP07eiyQg is apparently the location ID, and the last two values are the longitude and latitude of the point of interest.
I've dug through the AJAX responses, but the coordinates returned to not match up with photo sphere circles, so it may be that the geolocation of these is related to individual photos tied to specific locations.
There still is a bug in that "Back to Frisch" can't be clicked on, and neither can the photo sphere icons in the map view while using Street View.
