Are you using the custom version of JOSM, with "colour ways according to 
tagging" checked?  If you are I noticed a similar effect on a lake at 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?lat=50.72998735000275&lon=-1.1476389736472354&zoom=15

With "colour ways according to tagging" unchecked the way looks as I would 
have expected, ie the outline of the lake is correct, but when "colour ways 
according to tagging" is checked one corner of the lake seems to get cut 
off.  As far as I can tell this is just a display problem, and the actual 
way is tagged and stored correctly.
