That grid was used so that a way didn't compare to every other downloaded
way, but only to the nearer ones, and the value of 10000 was found using
heuristics (that is, test&error until most bugs were discovered while
keeping the processing time reasonable).

I'm afraid I didn't understand very well all the implications of projections
(well, I still don't fully understand) and even Lambert projection wasn't
included in JOSM at that time, but maybe it could use different values for
different projections.
