There's some legitimate edge cases for doing this, but I'd say slightly more often than not when I do this, it's because I was on the wrong layer and didn't expect to. A warning that you're not on the layer you think you are if there's another data layer that's closer that isn't the active layer would help. This isn't unique to JOSM, though. This is *easily* doable with iD as well (as evidenced by watching OSMCha with a bbox edged on Oklahoma's maximum extents, Amazon Logistics does this a good 3-4 times a day every day with changesets spanning the continent). And I've done it in Vespucci by accident.
