It is this gate, isn't it?

It has access=private, foot=yes.

Maybe mkgmap is being too liberal about the access=private (treating it like
access=yes), or its logic gets confused about the controversial access keys
(access=private would imply foot=private, which contradicts foot=yes).
What if you remove the access=private or add motorcar=no motorcycle=no?
(And while you are at it, add bicycle=yes or bicycle=no too, as appropriate.)
