Hi Alex, When I want to add information to an offline OSM file, which I don't want to be uploaded, I use tags like odbl, created_by, etc. These tags get stripped automatically from the objects before JOSM uploads them. You have to set JOSM to expert mode to see them, though.
In your case it might be a problem that those tags are also stripped when objects are merged. I included a style which demonstrates this. When I set odbl=new on a bus route for example, all the stops and the member ways are highlighted. Hope this helps in some way. I don't think JOSM's mapcss implementation cares about which tags you use. The source code is open though, so you can check.
