Thank you all for your answers.

Adding a level tag seemed to be the missing element. The warnings were coming from the default validator in JOSM. I select the stream and the road and click on Validation in the Validation Results dialogue. I get the warning: "Crossing waterway/highway".

From your various responses and the "Tunnel" Wiki entry I pieced together the following procedure that seems to work:

1. Add nodes to the waterway at the ends of the culvert.

2. Split the (water)way between those nodes.

3. Add the tag tunnel=culvert to the middle way segment.

4. Add the tag layer=-1 to that middle way segment.

Give them a layer tag that is lower than the layer tag of the highway. You
probably want layer=-1, where you add tunnel=culvert. No layer tag stands
for layer=0.

I'm going crazy trying to add waterways. Naturally they won't validate
where they pass under highways. If I add a culvert I can't seem to persuade
the validator that the water is running through it.

So how to do it?
