(Not sure if Taiwan-only, but I've only ever heard 妙, usually 很妙, used to mean "baffling" or "strange", possibly Japanese influenced?)
--------------------------------------

Editor: This entry's definition no doubt needs improvement, but your 1st and 4th references are about 奇妙, not 妙, and in the 2nd and 3rd references, I didn't see anything that made me think "puzzling" is a suitable definition for 妙. It would help if you could provide examples of the usage with enough context to make it clear that the meaning is "puzzling".
Diff:
# - 妙 妙 [miao4] /clever/wonderful/
# + 妙 妙 [miao4] /clever/wonderful/puzzling (see 莫名其妙[mo4 ming2 qi2 miao4])/
