I think I saw a little of this along a coastline last night as well. In this case all nodes connecting coastline ways were clean and some in the middle of the way were clean too. So I just selected a way, ran the licesnse plugin against it, selected all dirty nodes and deleted them. Then I used the improve way accuracy mode in JOSM (w) to retrace any missing nodes to fit the geometry to bing imagery. Same technique might be useful for interstates too.
