And not updating the area first before running the Validator and uploading. An easy way to create duplicate objects with JOSM is to create new objects, save the layer to disk, upload to API and then close JOSM without saving the layer again (because I just saved it and didn't change anything, silly JOSM!). When loading the file again JOSM treats these objects still as new and happily uploads them again at the next opportunity. Aborted uploads can have similar effects when the data was accepted by the server but the server response did not make it back to JOSM. The reason behind all this is that the API server is assigning the IDs for new objects and returns them to the software which in turn needs to update its local data.
