A user of the iD editor has added a new way along an existing way, with the two

existing way with new nodes. The old nodes have been deleted. The new nodes are
in exactly the same positions as the old nodes. If an old node had tags, the
tags are reproduced on the new node. If an old node was a member of a relation,
the new node replaces the old node in the relation, with the same position and
role. These things would be difficult to do in JOSM.
See, for example
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/37338712 - 144 nodes deleted

It's not a problem that I've heard of with iD before. It might be worth
mentioning it to the iD developer over at
https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/issues , but without some idea of
how it was created I suspect it's going to be difficult for them to do
anything.
What I'd suggest is to try talking to the mapper via a changeset
discussion comment, politely explaining what the problem is and what you
did to fix it, and asking how the data ended up as it did in the first
place.
I'd add the comment to the discussion in both English and French (if you
don't speak French machine-translated between those languages won't be
perfect but will I'm sure be good enough; if you're worried that the
results might be wrong machine-translate it back to English to
double-check). You may not get a reply, but at least you've tried to
find out :)
Cheers,
Andy
