I've done a lot coastline fixing and there were two cases were I've seen this error: 1.) There are two coastlines connected with reversed directions (I've never seen this "reversed coastline" you stated in another mail) 2.) There are two coastlines overlapping. Solution for 1.) is easy: Reverse the coastline so that land is on the left hand side. Solution for 2.) is more difficult as the coastlines may have different lengths and sometimes they are member of relations. Worst case is that both ways are member of different relations. Then possibly only a local member can fix this. If you delete one of these ways make sure that there is no gap in the resulting coastline.
