The same file works fine when I run osm2pgsql on it with my local
machine, so I don't think it's an inherent problem with the XML.

Hi,

Can you sanitize your XML by running it through Osmosis (--read-xml
latest.xml --write-xml foo.xml) and then try osm2psql again on the
resulting file? Just to be safe that there's nothing strange in there
that breaks it.
The <note> element contains a license remark, the <meta> element a
timestamp. Both are in the beginning of the file. You could simply
remove them with a text editor.
It is a little bit surprising to me because the osm2pgsql version I
tried had happily ignored the extra elements.
The rationale behind these two elements (and a third element <error>
appearing only in case of an error) is to provide useful information in
additional tags. This allows any tool to safely just ignore tags which
it doesn't know. The license remark is a matter of good style - nobody
should say he didn't know about the license of the excerpt. And the
timestamp can enable editors like JOSM with the mirrored_download plugin
to decide whether a given set of data is outdated or not.
The issue I have with the timestamp given by overpass is it ignores the XAPI
output format, even in XAPI compatibility mode. Since at least 2010 the XAPI
output has included xapi:planetDate and xapi:copyright attributes to the
<osm> element, not as stand-alone tags.
