Afaik, you can recognise such borders only be watching them and notice that
they are subject to vadalism from time to time. 
It would be nice if OSM would have a tag for disputed borders and that could
be rendered as such. The issue of disputed borders is not only a topic in
countries far away, even the dutch-german border is disputed at the coast.

I know from a statement in one country that says something like "As long as
the border is displayed wrong or not even marked as disputed like in Google,
the government can not allow OSM to use their data". Up to now, OSM prefers
one side over the other.
