I think one scenario which causes (or possibly caused) problems is that you are editing a relation and download relation member ways - this doesn't (or possibly didn't) also download information about other relations that those ways are members of. Split a way and it will add the newly created way id to the relation you are editing, but won't know to add it to the other relations the pre-split way might have been in. I base this theory on the number of level 8 admin boundaries in Haiti that were broken by the import of the level 10 ones (JOSM 2943 is reported on one of the relevant changesets).
