Yes we actually have some of that up here too. I've chosen generally not
to map it though as one cannot really verify it on the satellite photos,
and here in the vast nature in north it's not really reasonable to visit
all these places on foot so one have to rely on satellite photos for
large parts of the nature.
I'm quite sure that overlapping polygons is not how one is supposed to
do it though. Soggy forests should have its own natural type, in Swedish
we call it "sumpskog", and the best fitting OSM tag for that seems to be
"natural=wetland; wetland=swamp".
By the way, I've pushed an update of the Rimmjoáphe wetland now, removed
the relation and made a multipolygon to span the river.

And about wetlands, couldn't those be just rendered on top of forests
so we didn't have to make these complex multipolygons?
It does make sense to have overlapping wetland and forest, though. To
take a swedish example: down here in 08-land (note to non-Swedes:
Stockholm, telephone area code 08 :-) ), we get very little open bog,
but a fair amount of soggy forest.
