I have no idea about the coast lines - though the coastline checker
doesn't report any errors for WA at the moment:
http://coastline.openstreetmap.nl/?lat=-30.02&lon=120.85&zoom=6&layers=B00T

The damage I reported to boundaries was accidental - a combination of
Potlatch hiding the roads underneath the boundary ways and lack of
awareness of what the boundary ways are for.
