I've gone and done it. In JOSM it gave a 412 Precondition Failed response - and didn't delete the way from the relation. So I opened Potlatch and it deleted it without any problem. I've deleted the duplicate ways - I hope that was what you wanted to do. Presumably if there are duplicate ways everywhere (and I found 11 duplicates on top of each other in the UK where the route relation E20 had been created) - then this relation can be slimmed down anyway just by removing excess ways.
