  i guess i'll get around to returning to my aborted work-in-progress, consisting of detaching and deleting the shorter way, reconnecting its exclusive junctions, losing the turn restriction, to see if the bug repeats itself or if it's another random iD bug not reproducible.  
  
  have you encountered many more such overlaps?  wondering if it's as frequent as the multiple overlapping nodes that pop up regularly and are known for months.
