It's been discussed before and there's no real consensus. Different mapping communities (ie, depending on your local area) do things differently. Things to consider: - what's the actual legal definition of the boundary? (Is it one bank of the river, the centre, a fenceline...?) - which side of the river is the fence on - what does the rendering look like - can look bad if a river and an administrative boundary cross each other randomly - difficulty of editing, if ways are near each other - where does the boundary data come from - was it imported? If so, will it cause problems if you move it to align it with another feature? - etc I would generally only form junctions between boundaries and physical objects if they're running in parallel - not if they just cross each other.
