The warning only appears if the tags are conflicting, that is, if the
same tag has different values on the two ways.
Not if a tag is on only one way.
In the case of a road with a bridge, this was usually one way that was
split to insert the bridge, so they have identical tags... no warning.
The combined result gets bridge and layer tags.
