I have been thinking about this as well. even the name belongs to the
outer way and not the relation.
I would say put the nature reserve tag on the outer way and the forest
tags on the relation. Would that work ?

But tagging mistakes due to bad quality aerial imagery is equally
common I think. And those are much harder to detect I think.
For your case, it  is basically looking up all multipolygons on which
the nature reserve tags is placed and check those. While this can be a
long list, it is not nearly as long as checking all landuses.
