Comment(by tom.davie@…):

 To me, if the two ways are already sharing the edge, then they clearly are
 intended to run along the same series of nodes.  It's very rare for you to
 create two ways with identical nodes, and then want to add a point in the
 middle where they diverge.  If you do, it could be simply done by
 splitting one way and adding a node away from the shared section, then
 rejoining.

 The heuristic proposed also breaks down even in the example given.  Many
 boundaries for example are defined as running down the centre of a road;
 or along the edge of an area of land use.
