Yes, these planets are from before the 0.5 API switch over (which
happened on 6th/7th October 2007). I think you'll need to process them
with a 0.4 version of the planetdiff tool (ie: r4778 in SVN). Any
tools you use will need to know about segments, or else you'll need to
convert the planet first by using the 04to05.pl script at:
http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/utils/conv05/04to05.pl

There may be an easier way, but I don't know it.
