Thanks to everyone for this thread - people have asked about this before 
without getting anywhere! 

Sorry if it's obvious, but there are also two low-effort solutions to the 
original problem:

1. Forget about making map files, convert the boundaries to .gpx tracks in 
JOSM, then OsmAnd can display them with no further effort. I gave an 
example here: 
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/osmand/3yY1zrJYXXc/1nulrqrIEAAJ

or

2. Deliberately tag the new boundaries with something that OsmAnd normally 
does display, e.g. a suitable boundary or even a type of highway or railway 
etc, then use OsmandMapCreator in the usual way and view in OsmAnd using 
the standard renderers. There could be confusion when viewing the map but 
sometimes this can be good enough.

A further snag with (2) is that boundaries often run down real highways, 
making them difficult to display. Option (1) is really easy, and can even 
give some extra leverage because of OsmAnd's rich features for working with 
.gpx tracks.
