It's fairly straightforward:

There are three sources of coastlines in the mapnik layer:

http://trac.openstreetmap.org/browser/applications/rendering/mapnik/osm.xml#L31

 * World-1 : zoom 0 to 6, very low detail
 * world : zoom 7 to 9
 * coast-poly : zoom 10+

The final one is derived from the coastlines in the database, but
isn't automatically updated - it'll happen when Jon feels that it's
worth doing by checking the state of play at
http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/coastlines.html . You can tell the first
two apart by checking Stockholm - the inland sea to the north-west is
on world-1 (and coast-poly), but not world. On the cycle map I ditched
the world layer and only render world-1 and coast-poly, but there's a
performance impact on rendering the very-high-quality coast-poly at
low zooms, never mind the problems with Greenland being missing etc.

In this case, it looks to me like the coast-poly didn't have the
lagoon in it when Jon last synced, whereas it does now. Syncing isn't
always a good idea, since there will be days when the whole world goes
blue on the coastline checker, but I'm sure it'll be updated at some
point.

Cheers,
Andy
