"Segmentation fault" indicates that the program has crashed. It's not 
surprising that the result is not what you expect.

This is a lot more interesting. First: It's the fault of osm2pgsql. It 
must not crash. regardless of what probably corrupted input you give.

It would be interesting to know the exact code location it crashes to 
track down the code part that causes the crash.

Do you have core files? These could be loaded into GDB to examine the 
call-stack at the time of the crash.

In case your system has no core-creation enabled (check with ulimit -c) 
give it some memory for cores.

e.g. ulimit -c 100000

Based on these results the rroot cause could be determined.
