Another option would be to pipe it through a stream editor, such as sed, 
awk or perl. I did that at one point in my osm2img.sh, for two tasks: 
moving the coastline endpoints outside the tile borders, and removing 
broken multipolygons generated by a bot. The broken multipolygons have 
since then been fixed, and when switching to osm.pbf, I worked around 
the coastline endpoint problem by choosing my tile borders carefully.
