JOSM does report those problems, but on STDOUT, maybe you didn't see it. JOSM being a GUI program should probably report it through the GUI though... And it should be obvious that you have to have all nodes needed for a way in the data if you want it to show up properly. Thats just standard OSM format, nothing special about JOSM that way. Of course it would be nice if JOSM documented what it does if thats not the case. Another issue I just noticed in the changes.osm file: You timestamps are probably not conforming. Please don't use microseconds and always use timezone "Z". Some programs will, no doubt, parse your file correctly, but others will not. And I hope all those tags are just for experimenting. Tags "lastUser" and "foo" make no sense and tag "source" these days belongs on the changeset, not on the objects.
