This is the desired effect. Technically there should be one multipolygon
defining the waterway (or lake) and another multipolygon for the wooded area
(with separate ways? or maybe the wooded area's outer way should be the
lake's inner way?).

Keep in mind that removing duplicate nodes/ways in all cases is bad ... in
some cases there actually are two features at the exact same point.
