Hi! Just spent a few hours debugging this problem: The way Osmosis is packaged on Debian Jessie seems to be wrong. It doesn't use the Xerces XML parser but seems to fall back to Java default XML parser which mangles Unicode characters.
This can lead to data corruption (and has for me today) when using Osmosis for planet updates etc. You can test whether this bug is on your system, too: Download the XML for this node: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3382756758. Then run it through osmosis: osmosis --rx 3382756758.osm --wx out.osm Compare the two files, you'll see the musical notation character doubling in the second case when your Osmosis is broken. The fix is simple: Add a line "load /usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar" to /etc/osmosis/plexus.conf. As I understand this, it tells Java to load Xerces replacing the built-in XML parser. I have opened a bug with Debian. Arguably Osmosis should somehow detect when Xerces isn't found and return an error instead of using a different implemenation. But I don't know enough about Java to say whether thats possible.
