I have a windows app that will remove duplicate nodes (leaving any with 
tags) then adjust any adjoining segments as necessary.
It also removes "0 length" segments that have the same to and from node.

It works in conjunction with JOSM and sets the action attribute of any 
it changes and is available at:
http://www.earlsoft.co.uk/projects/osmtidy/source/OSMTidy.exe
It doesn't currently log what it changes but you can see in the "upload" 
dialog of JOSM.

Enjoy.

Any and all comments welcome.
