It appears to me that the issue is resolved with the DWG's cange. If you care enough about this issue to have the map rendered in a specific way, then you (or the community around you) should set up a rendering toolchain that renders objects with your preferred language.
Doing so is not technically difficult and is well documented here: http://weait.com/content/build-your-own-openstreetmap-server The OSM Mapnik rendering is just one of many possible renderings of OSM data.
