Ah, your remark 'huge circle' makes me realize what is going on: If
one has a closed loop, and uses the 'straighten' tool in potlatch, the
way is changed into a circle. Apparently this has been done with road
29095033 (edge of high-resolution Yahoo imaging area) to cause these
problems. Unfortunately, it seems that simply reverting this one road
in Potlatch does not solve the problems of the other roads.
