Oh right, then that was my misunderstanding. I remembered from looking 
at the planet .osc files, and then tried it out by comparing two .osm 
files and thought the behaviour must have changed.

Interestingly, the .osc files on planet seem to contain the full set of 
tags for deleted *nodes*, but no tags for deleted ways or relations.
