 Looking at the intermediate Mapnik PostgreSQL DB shows the way
(id=5021907) as being made up of two short polygons plus a couple of
very long linestrings. I'll have to dig a little deeper to figure out
why this is happening. The data looks OK in JOSM (all 1852 segments of
it) but I've not looked too closely at it yet.

It could be a bug in the osm2pgsql code or one of the libraries it uses
or some non-obvious data problem.
