Overpass returns node's data with area's information that should not exist

There is such village: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/337512354

I want to get all relationships of this village.
In order to get it, I do request: http://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter?data=node(337512354);is_in;out;

In this file the top one area record shows:
<area id="2430719979">
<tag k="name" v="Пересіка"/>
<tag k="place" v="village"/>
</area>

The page of this area (way) is: http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/30719979 As we can see, on this page there are no any tags at all.

My questions:
1. Where\why does overpass take <area id="2430719979"> tag name\tag place </area> from?
2. How\where to fix this? (Remove this tags as this way should not have those tags)

Tags are not inherited from relation 6258680 to way 30719979.

This looks like a bug to me, as tags for areas and way are not consistent. That's even the case if I take the area creation timestamp as [date:...] value.

The issue is that way 30719979 used to be a valid way, but in the meantime, the way is just a line (rather than an area). The tags are retained from the last time, the way was still an area.

[date:"2016-05-06T05:51:02Z"];way(30719979);out geom meta;

Can you please file an issue on Github for it.

Way 30719979 is part of relation 6258680. I guess that's where Overpass API is retrieving this information from.

Areas are an extension of Overpass API. They are constructed using the areas.osm3s script. Since they don't exist in OSM there is no way for you to "fix" this. But if you think something is wrong with a generated area then you can create a GitHub issue.
