For me, this gives two roads (the first and the second) just
as I would expect.  What do you expect to happen?

Again, I get the two lines that I would expect.  For highway=primary
and incline=down, I get a 0x16 and a 0x1.

But I do see a problem: both roads will be drawn with the same value
of oneway.  This problem will happen for every tag that is interpreted
in the code and not in the style file, eg access= and so on.
