So is assuming that the "bahn mi" mentioned prominently in a local eatery's print ad probably aren't up to the standards of the bánh mì I get on Argyle a reasonable inference from meagre data or just an especially egregious instance of linguification?

That's the standard floating foreign h problem. (See also the perennial "Ghandi" and "Ghengis Khan".) The writer knows there's an h in there somewhere, but damned if he knows where it goes.
