I think you wanted to use the words "collective work" and "derivative work" - 
it's the wording you'll find in the CC licenses and other legal texts.

You're wrong. The file would be a collective work, and the CC-by-sa license 
explicitly allows to "distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or 
publicly digitally perform the Work [...] as incorporated in a Collective 
Work, but this does not require the Collective Work apart from the Work 
itself to be made subject to the terms of this License.". So, no problem.

(As long as the OSM data is attributed to OSM, the license is mentioned, yadda 
yadda yadda)
