I have not found out how to do this in JOSM. However Potlatch exposes deleted ways: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch/Primer#Undoing_mistakes So I use that to undelete the way and then continue editing (or switch back to JOSM) > > I was adding a relation to cover the Bibbulmun Track when I came across > an area with extensive duplication of ways, which I've been fixing as I > go along.

This area really baffled me when I noticed it a little while ago. I really didn't know how to resolve all the duplication or how to approach the user in question - they have obviously contributed a fair bit to the map but all the myid tags and duplicated ways are odd. As an example for the list: http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-34.6593&lon=117.5389&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF The Muirs Highway has been duplicated (and upgraded to trunk which also doesn't seem right to me).
