Brett Who was this "OSM administrator" that contacted you? In any case there is a hard limit of 2000 nodes per way in the API (for all editors) , there is no reason that hitting is this should cause corruption though (your data might not make a lot of sense, but that is not the same as database corruption) and in general you would break any such object in to multiple ways before you reached the limit (if it is a polygon you would add the individual pieces then to the MP relation). Handling large objects is tedious in any current OSM editor however right now JOSM is the only viable choice for such edits so you are on the right track there.
