Looking at the data, it was modified on 2008-05-11. That was within the API 0.5 
timeframe. So surely it was the 0.5 -> 0.6 upgrade process that didn't catch 
the data anomaly, rather than the current API 0.6 code? After all, the data 
hasn't been changed since API 0.6 went live.

It's good to see that Iván has posted a very plausible reason for why those 
particular longitudes were getting shown. I found the location of the lake in 
question on Wikipedia and see that the latitudes have changed significantly as 
well. I've written a little bit of code to revert the nodes to their most 
recent valid positions and committed the result after checking that it looked 
reasonable in JOSM.
