Another one is https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/8692572 west of Ceuta - 
it's an outer of Spain but not an inner of Morocco - they've "agreed to 
differ" on it for the time being. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Perejil%20Island?uselang=en-GB#Sovereignty 
has some more info.  In this example I think that overlapping 
admin_level=2 is the best reflection of the on-the-ground situation.

This also presents a rendering conundrum for any renderer that wants to 
indicate the status as there isn't an easy way of showing "outer of one 
admin_level=2 but not an inner of another".
