I'm not sure if this what Lambertus was thinking of but what about
polygons that completely encircle a tile, or are so big that they cut 
across a tile in such a way that joining up the nodes in the overlap 
area cuts across the tile.  I don't think those things can work.

Probably doesn't happen for real though.  Certainly no one has reported
a case where that appeared to happen.
