In Richard's defence, there are over 1500 changesets with a comment of 
"removing multiple consecutive identical nodes in ways/delete one node 
ways. please help by giving hints, about how this potlatch bug can be 
reproduced http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/2501". It seems that it 
is a long-standing problem, and repeating that there is a problem 
doesn't bring us closer to a solution.

You seem to have just submitted a patch that fixes the multiple 
consecutive nodes part, but the one-node-way part seems to be yet 
unsolved. Nonetheless you (Steve) closed ticket #2501 as "fixed"; is it 
possible that the submitter of #4395 created his ticket in response to 
your closing of #2501, to remind people that half of #2501 is not fixed yet?

Bye
Frederik
