 Apologies if I missed something obvious, but from this view:

 http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?lat=41.3471&lon=-72.7728&zoom=14

 I have tried to import a multipolygon lake using the following URLs:
 OSM format:
 http://dev.x-plane.com/download/lake.osm
 SHP format:
 http://dev.x-plane.com/download/lake.shp

 Expected result: lake layer name would appear on the list, then I would
 see some kind of vector outline of the lake in the map window, ready to be
 'brought forward' into OSM.

 Actual results:
 - the shapefile seems to never come up as a layer.
 - the OSM file does appear as a layer, but even when the layer is checked,
 I do not see any sign of the lake in the map.

 Manual verification of the osm and shp files in JOSM and qgis indicate
 that the lake is a well formed multipolygon in the correct location.

 Any hints to a work-around (or a clue) are much appreciated!
