Well there was an issue in the API with relations where the tag values
would all be set to the same value. I sent out an email to the dev list
yesterday about it. Since then though zere has checked in a fix and I
can confirm that things are working fine for me with JOSM now. I think
that there was a separate issue with Potlatch and relations, but I also
think that I saw separate checkins to fix this as well.

The relations issue in the API that I first mentioned above didn't
affect the relation membership; just the tag values. In the main you
could reconstruct most of the broken data from history pretty easily.
