Yes a bug was discovered last week which meant that traces that
were marked as "private" or "public" which are not meant to be
ordered were in fact being returned in order and several editors
were taking advantage of that.
The bug was fixed and as a result data from those traces is
displaying in a confusing way in JOSM and (until a few hours
ago) in Potlatch 2.

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the information.
To be visible on the OSM map "Public GPS Traces" layer, the GPX should
be published as "Public". This layer is useful for people, who, for
instance, do hiking in wilderness. Because sometimes a path is not
mapped yet, but a GPX trace shows that someone could actually walk
there. And if there are several traces, it means that there is probably
a path.
It would be a good idea if these public GPX traces were shown also as a
line in JOSM.
I mean if I publish a GPX file, I would like it to be visible as a line
both on the the OSM map "Public GPS Traces" layer, and in the JOSM
editor. Dots-only style in the JOSM is also OK, especially if the dots
of one GPS trace could be connected with a thin line. Let it be a
different, thinner line, but a line. Because in places with a lot of GPS
dots it is not clear which dot belong to which trace.
Best regards,
Oleksiy
