Coastlines should always be drawn so that the land is on the left according to the order of the ways.

There is a map that shows coastline errors here (currently showing a potential error in Sweden, but not Finland).

Lakes are drawn with the same direction convention, but different tags.

What you show in your image looks like it could be a rendering issue for the editor, not necessarily an issue in the data itself. Is this a multipolygon that isn't fully loaded?
