This has been a long-standing problem. Unfortunately there is a lot of data in OSM that is still tagged this way, so it is not an option to just not do this anymore. Too many multipolygons (about 17,000) would break. This is not the only problem with current multipolygon tagging, and I am working on a "campaign" to get these fixed.
