If you draw a selection box over where the two tiles meet and run the validator in Josm one of the errors it can report is "duplicate nodes". When you are merging tiles where roads and areas are split between the tiles there is a copy of all nodes on the "border" between the tiles in each file. Josm Recognizes this and can merge the nodes from both tiles so there are no duplicates.
