As TomH has already said, this is not a bug, it stems from the fact that 
the full planet export reads the "current" tables and as such is subject 
to changes that occur during the export process. (There may even be 
inconsistencies when something like this happens: Exporter dumps nodes, 
exporter starts dumping ways, user adds new node into way, new way 
version is dumped referring to new node that is not in the dump.)

The daily, hourly, and minutely diffs have a clean cutoff date because 
they are taken from the history tables.

Brett Henderson has offered to look into creating the dailies from 
history as well, but I don't know about the status of that.

If you use osmosis, it is safe (and in fact recommended) that, after 
loading the database with a planet file initially, you should load that 
same day's diff file as the first diff, creating a clean cutoff point. 
It is possible that the same is not working with osm2pgsql, I have no 
experience there.

Bye
Frederik
