Yes. For mapnik, at high zoom levels the coast polygons used are generated 
from shapefiles created by the coastline error checker.

The coastline error checker has been offline since sometime before mid June, 
so no updated shapefiles have been created.

Various request have been made on this mailing list, but I've now added a 
ticket to trac to hopefully speed up the process of getting it fixed.
