You put "incorrectly" into quotes, I guess because you know (as we all do) that we can´t decide whats correct and whats not. Correctness just isn´t a useful concept in the OSM world. I´d much rather use "usefulness" as the concept we should embrace. We should strive to make the data useful for as many uses as possible. If the data is only useful for once specific rendering, its not as useful as other data that works in many renderers. But having it work in one is better than no data at all. Its nice if the data conforms to some theoretical ideal, but that alone doesn´t mean its useful.
