The answer is to get authorities and the boundary commission to plot boundaries in OpenStreetMap as well as on OS maps, but I doubt the chances of that happening are very high.
Could this be a "techie task" for DemocracyClub volunteers? While *tracing* one map to create another is legally dubious, simply looking at a map, relating it to your local knowledge ("ah, the border runs down the middle of Avenue Road, and then follows the stream as far as the golf course") and then re-plotting that on OpenStreetMap.org is easier to justify.
Taking it one step further, actually *walking* the boundary with a GPS recorder running is definitely a legally safe way to get the information, at least as I understand things from reading pages of legal wrangling over the issue.
