http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1681 contains a few back and forths, 
but as Patrick says, there was also some discussion on IRC (I wouldn't 
call it discussion, since there wasn't any disagreement, and a lot of 
indifference).

The way I read the wiki at the time (from various pages), leisure=marina 
was for the land belonging to the marina. Seeing it rendered as sea 
sparked my initial interest in this.

No matter which is "correct", the previous method of rendering 
leisure=marina as sea does not make much sense, since it effectively means 
not rendering it at all. Rendering it as a border means you can use it for 
either the land, sea or both, and have it rendered in a useful fashion. 
Seems ideal to me.
