Having made a complete fool of myself once tonight, I may as well try
again..

That's because the restrictions are stored as tags in the way/node and
not in the GType. All the tags in the way will be visible for each map
object that is generated from that way.

With the "remove bogus nodes" patch in its current form, that can't be
avoided because all of the nodes/ways are processed by the rules before
any map objects are generated. If the way was duplicated before the
rules were processed, what you are trying to do could work better.

I will make a patch for trunk that duplicates the ways/nodes before the
style processing and let's see what good that does.

Standby...
