The two roundabouts I encountered were here

http://openstreetmap.com/?lat=51.10147&lon=10.67444&zoom=17&layers=B000FTF

and I could have sworn that there was another one here

http://openstreetmap.com/?lat=51.100354&lon=10.627655&zoom=18&layers=B000FTFT

but that last one magically disappeared.

I will look at them myself this afternoon. But for now I have neither  
JOSM nor a browser with flash installed at hand.

Just a wild guess: are your 'fine' roundabouts possibly somewhere in GB?

It's without a space here. The 'have to start looking at the style  
files' part goes unchanged for me too.
