Aside from the excellent technical suggestion that's already been made, 
I'd suggest a polite changeset discussion comment, explaining that the 
imagery that they're using there is out of date or wrong for some other 
reason.

Changeset discussion comments have an advantage over direct OSM messages 
in that they are visible to all, which tends to mean that (a) everyone 
is that much more nice to each other and (b) other mappers may know that 
there is a potential problem.  Also, if you get no reply and need to ask 
the Data Working Group for help we can easily see the details of the 
problem, without have to ask you to repeat what you've already sent in PMs.

Best Regards,

Andy (from the DWG)
