As far as I understand, there's nothing against better supporting 
north/south/east/west roles in JOSM. If there's a clear and also 
computable interpretation of north/south/east/west for the icons in the 
relation editor, please open a ticket and describe, how that should look 
like. The same holds for unexpected behaviour of the validator or way 
direction reversing code.

To see how those icons in the relation editor are determined at the 
moment, you could refer to the class
