Cory mentioned these ways (in private e-mail):

If I manually fetch a relevant bbox from the API:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.4/map? 
bbox=-87.630,41.886,-87.627,41.889

then save as a .osm file, and load into JOSM, it seems quite happy  
and I can see the ways. Similarly, if I look at the .osm file they  
seem to be in there.

But if I punch this bounding box into JOSM, or even copy and paste  
the URL, then it doesn't work. Either I get a 500, or a complaint  
about "Error when parsing: unknown version: null".
