  I've noticed that you need to add natural=water, then it renders OK in mapnik. However, either the wiki should be updated to say this, or if dropping this as a requirement is better then mapnik needs updating to render as water without this tag.

Until last week the tag waterway = riverbank hadn't been agreed, and so I guess it was an acceptible workaround to use the natural = water tag.  As the waterway = riverbank is now an agreed tag for larger rivers I would suggest the wiki page is not "updated" to suggest natural = water should be used.
