This much looks like everything was ok, but the server answer somehow got 
lost. This sometimes happens. I'm not sure if it is a server or a JOSM 
error (or both?).

Call the update function from first menu (e.g. Update changed). This 
should update everything relevant (save before) and reducing the number of 
changes. New elements are probably not detected properly. But at least 
after the update you can verify if your work was uploaded completely or 
not.

You can also use the changeset editor of JOSM to review your changeset 
itself.

Or you download the area (after saving state) and verify if you changes 
look complete.

In case of a partial upload you need to use validator to fix the 
duplicates (everything you newly created).
