We could bug somebody.  This sort of rendering problem appears on
occasion.  Asking about it on the #osm irc channel will usually
encourage the admins to update the coastline files.

There is a new effort to detect these potential errors so that they
can be removed.  Perhaps Paul can suggest how we can use his coastline
checker? Then we can fix other coastline issues and try to fix the
rendering for several of them at once?
