It started after upgrade from josm-snapshot-5485.jar to 
josm-snapshot-5531.jar including an update of the plugings + enabling 
the wikipedia plugin.
I did a quick check:
* after a downgrade to 5485 (leaving the new plugings and the wikipedia 
plugin) the problem was gone.
* then another upgrade to 5531 and it didn't reoccure.

...tonight it was 100% reporducible for me. Hmmm, really strange.
Maybe the changeset needs certain size or so? The changesets used for 
the tests this afternoon had all been only of one new/removed way with 
only 3/4 nodes.

I'll keep an eye on this issue. If it reoccures, I will show up again.


Thanks,
