On a closer read, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation:multipolygon
suggests that the islands within lakes should be defined as separate
multipolygon relations.  I will try that later, after I have seen the
effect of removing the names from the relation.

I fixed the other two anti-island warnings by defining further multipolygons.
One of them was a small lake east of Inarinjärvi and the other was Kemijärvi,
all located in northeastern Finland, and likely severed by Geofabrik's cutting.
