Specifically, it's osm2pgsql that needs fixing - it's that which
generates the polygons for mapnik to render (and there's nothing wrong
with mapnik's intrinsic polygon rendering).

But apart from that, you're right, both about the approach (i.e. tag
it right) and that it's software fixes that are needed. tile.osm.org
and the www.opencyclemap.org use different versions of osm2pgsql which
is why they are different.
