In this case sounds like the renderer has broken the "principle of least 
surprise".

It doesn't sound like a tagging issue to me; I'd suggest that the 
renderer that made this change did so in error.  Is using a different 
renderer an option until it is fixed (perhaps the Humanitarian tiles 
linked from openstreetmap.org)?

(for the avoidance of doubt - I appreciate that this this conversation 
started on one mailing list, then replies moved it elsewhere, so this 
isn't intended to be a criticism of which list you posted to!)

Best Regards,
