The issue here is an old data issue, not a rendering issue. Apple have used very old OSM data for some reason. And in this case, a mapper had originally mapped this lake with “FIXME” in the name tag, instead of adding a separate fixme tag. That way has since been deleted and replaced with the current way imported from CANVEC data.
(Potlatch 1’s Undelete feature is still the easiest way to investigate certain OSM oddities.)
That makes a lot more sense! Thanks, I’d never actually tried potlatch for more than the occasional minor edit, being an avid JOSM user. I’ll have to go check it out.
I was about to say the same thing that davespod said, that people put in “FIXME” for the name tag. To alert others that the name for something is needed, I add a “fixme=name??” tag.

@ingalls: JOSM’s history plugin should give you some idea as well.
