It does not. This is a known problem in the tile splitter. mkgmap does
try to work it around to the extent possible.
For what it is worth, the splitter in Osmosis implements an option not
to break relations (such as multipolygons). It costs much more
processing time.
I do not know how much additional effort it would take to clip
multi-polygons (and polygons, for that matter) along tile borders in
splitter.

There are some large multipolygons elsewhere on the planet. One example
is Lake Päijänne in Finland. The largest lake, Saimaa, is in several
multipolygons, and every now and then someone adds an island to the
wrong multipolygon relation.
