Chris , are you sure the mapnik rendering is good?  For instance a bit 
further inland on  the Humber

see 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=53.49024&lon=-0.77102&zoom=15&layers=B0FT 
the rendering is not what you might expect. I think what you are seeing in 
mapnik is the solid blue fill taken from the original import of the UK 
coastline data. Whereas the area outlined in blue, but not filled is the 
rendering of waterway = riverbank.
