There should be no need for a tag to indicate whether a cycleway is

not be tagged as highway=cycleway at all - it should be tagged as
highway=(something else) + cycleway=*. The
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Bicycle page in the wiki is quite
clear that there is only one way to map cycle lanes (i.e. not separated
from road) whereas there are two ways to map cycle tracks (separated from
a road).
Agreed; a painted lane on the road should always be an attribute of the
road. It's a lane by definition.
The problem arises with 'hybrid' cycle lane/track stuff, for which a
discussion was started at:

Are these lanes or tracks? :

My general view is that where there is such partial physical segregation,
but it is part of the road, it is probably best to use cycleway=track,
oneway=yes as attributes on the main highway, but the stronger the
segregation, the more I would lean to using a separate highway=cycleway,
not least because it's easier then to put proper metadata on it.
