I was going to point you towards
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quality_Assurance_Tools_script but
for some reason it doesn't support OSMI's multipolygon checks. Might
be worth pinging the qat devs.

Possible alternatives:
* Load OSMI's multipolygon checks as an imagery layer. If only it
didn't flag type=boundary as an error. As it is it's a bit noisy :/
* Use the OSMI website directly
(http://tools.geofabrik.de/osmi/?view=multipolygon). You can tweak the
error types to display, and load object via remote command.
* Use the qat plugin but with other sources than OSMI. For
multipolygon errors, it's IMHO not as good.
