I was assuming the nodes are joined. In what way are co-linear
("duplicate") ways an "issue"? I wasn't aware there were any problems
with the practice?
And I wouldn't describe two partially co-linear ways as duplicate,
especially if they have different tags as in this case.

I'm not familiar with JOSM's editing, but I was thinking of Potlatch's
"parallel ways" tool. If you just copy and paste a wiggly line at an
offset, it will intersect with the original. Potlatch's tool actually
shrinks the "inside" way so that doesn't happen.
