The plot thickens...

The way ID is 485136 (M27 eastbound) and after a lot of screwing around
with JOSM, ethereal and an HTTP client, my findings are as follows:

1) JOSM happily uploaded all 200 of the selected segments (not all of
the real ones but a nice round number).

2) Downloading JUST that way in a browser showed me the correct
timestamp and all 200 segments.

3) When sent as part of the output of map, I ONLY get 147 of the 200
segments. It's not that its just including the ones in that map as it
has others that aren't and misses a load that are.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.3/map?bbox=-1.35,50.86,-1.24,50.97

This is only evident in JOSM after clearing and re downloading a map.

Hope this helps you to track it down further:)
