Comment(by stevage):

 My preference: P2 notices there are multiple ways and offers you the
 choice.
 Alternative: P2 notices there are multiple ways and tries to guess which
 one you mean. (Still much better than the current situation, which is it
 basically picks at random.)

 One obvious heuristic would be to link "like with like": if your way has a
 highway=*, it should connect with a highway=* rather than a boundary=* or
 a landuse=*.

 The current behaviour can be irritating (and worse, lead to the wrong
 result) when you have something like an administrative boundary running
 almost parallel with a road). I sometimes end up having to physically move
 the admin boundary out of the way so I can work on a road, then move it
 back afterwards. That ends up slightly moving those nodes, of course...
