I currently have the opportunity to do some mapping in Columbus, Ohio.
  The admin boundary for the city seems a bit odd:

There seem to be a lot of holes in the multipolygon relation, and it
seems strange to me that there are so many places within the city that
are not part of the city.  Is anyone more familiar with this area that
give an explanation for this?

Cities generally annex properties one-by-one. This can create enclaves where the city or owners didn't want annexation.

Here's an official source that shows the holes in Columbus: http://gis.columbus.gov/oss/
