I thoroughly agree.  It's not just stations: any kind of extra "oh no it
isn't" tag makes life difficult for users of the data.  I've even seen
status=desire to indicate that a path doesn't exist, but it would be nice
if it did...

Any unambiguous tagging scheme you can think of would be fine.
(railway=abandoned_station would also be possible)
