The problem is that there are tiles where there is coastline but none
of it touches the edges (islands). You have sufficient information to
determine if it's land or sea, but close-areas.pl doesn't know right
now.

The intersections are obviously needed, The unneccessary was a bit misplaced.

Have a ncie day,
