Hi, there is no problem with this coastline. What you are seeing is the manner in which sections are rendered for editing. In Id if you pan around the coastline the apparent anomaly will right itself. Pan back to where you started and the anomaly is resolved. It does also show in JOSM when a limited section of coast is downloaded, when more enough coast is downloaded the anomaly rights itself.
