If you zoom out to around level 13 then you will see that the coastline follows the purple path. That seems to accurately reflect the current coastline data. There is no automated refresh of the high zoom tiles except when some other data changes in the surrounding area. The coastline rendering involves an additional shapefile processing step which adds a little more update latency too. If you wait a few months then the oldest tiles will probably be purged from disk and rendered with fresh data. You can make this happen sooner by grabbing the URL for the tile and appending "/dirty" to the end. This tells the rendering system that you want it to refresh the contents. I have just done this for a few of the tiles shown on your link above so you should see the effect soon (you may need to hit refresh in your browser).
