Yep, it is off by a couple hundred meters in some places. When I get
home tonight I will download the latest Census shapefile and align the
Colorado border to it by hand. A brief check shows that this data does
have the border going through the monuments as well as that 3rd node
you linked to (or at least where that node SHOULD be - it is 40 meters
north of the nearest roadway)

This is how the map is improved, not through unilateral reverting of
large changesets.
