I worked around this problem, but it is not at all convenient. You create the output file in uncompressed .osm format. This can result in a large file. Then you edit the file with a hexadecimal editor, because it will be too large to edit with a text editor.
Another option would be to pipe it through a stream editor, such as sed, awk or perl. I did that at one point in my osm2img.sh, for two tasks: moving the coastline endpoints outside the tile borders, and removing broken multipolygons generated by a bot. The broken multipolygons have since then been fixed, and when switching to osm.pbf, I worked around the coastline endpoint problem by choosing my tile borders carefully. Marko
