Agreed.  I've forwarded the previous email to the DWG to create a ticket 
so that we can chase it up from there.

(again at the risk of sounding like a broken record) I'd recommend 
trying to make these comments in public, via changeset discussion 
comments so that:

  * It's clear what the problem is, and which change actually introduced
    the problem.
  * Other mappers who encounter the data or who look at services like
    http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=61942 can
    also see the problem

Best Regards,

Andy
