And my final question was: why do polygons need post-processing after
a normal import. I can't remember the reason... If they don't then we
can solve the problem even quicker....

I would neither say the *need* postprocessing, nor am I the author of the current multipolygon handling, but the reasoning is as follows:

1. I import a closed way tagged landuse=wood and create a polygon.
2. I import a closed way tagged natural=water and create a polygon.
3. I import a relation that has the first way as "outer" and the second as "inner". I now either have to remove the polygon from 1, replacing it with one that has a hole defined by 2, or else I have to delay polygon creation until after all relations are read.
