It is not a renderer bug. At least in case of OSM Carto, where tree-covered 
area is deliberately
working in this way to indicate missing multipolygons. And to support case of 
tree covered areas of 
various types.

Missing explicit holes are not a biggest mapping quality issue. but  it is 
better to 
make it explicit, in almost all cases "is it incompatible area" is not actually 
obvious and the
same across world. Also processing such data with implicit holes is 
unreasonably hard.

Though I am still not a fan of using multipolygons where there are no holes in
areas.
