I *believe* JOSM will do this (Frederik?).  I used it correct  where 
I'd repeatedly used a misspelled autocompleted tag (higway --> 
highway) though have not gone back explicitly checked it worked and 
did not mung the value.

Do a search for 'newforest_pathtype'  and then make the required 
changed in the Attributes box where it says
newforest_pathtype = <different>
