I guess you mean the way(id=4372580, natural=wood). That is being hidden
by way(id=4044516, landuse=residential). The reason is pretty
straightforward -- neither area has a layer= attribute so the rendering
order of these two features is currently undefined. 

I have just set layer=-1 on the large landuse area which should ensure
that any other object will be rendered over the top of this. 

Is setting landuse to layer=-1 a generally acceptable solution?
