I am in favour of feeding these kinds of bugs into OpenStreetBugs -
Possibly showing the bug as a different color knob. Having a central
repository for all kinds of inconsistencys/bugs makes a lot of sense.

I would propose to base the opening of bugs on the changes files which
will lead to false positives showing up - but after closing on
openstreetbugs to not show up again.
