hi oscar. are you using diff uploads to create the polygons? if so, it
would be a good idea to group the uploaded ways and relations for the
polygon along with the nodes it needs. this would mean that such an
error wouldn't occur. i seem to remember that this was done for the
french corrine import and maybe it would be a good idea to talk to
them about good techniques for doing this before going any further?

cheers,
