It was handled properly, rendered as it was mapped.

Default map style deliberately is not hiding errors or transforming data in 
a complicated way, see
https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/CARTOGRAPHY.md#general-purpose

"Being understandable and supportive for mappers - To serve as feedback for mappers 
and encourage correct mapping this style needs to render the data in a way that allows
mappers to understand how the data produces a certain rendering result based on basic
observation without in depth understanding how map rendering works or 
looking at the style implementation."

By rendering what was mapped it revealed wrong data - it was working as expected.

(I have no idea what else you expected to be rendered there).
