The result is somewhat inconclusive. I copied the default style, 
discarded all points, lines and relations rules, and kept only the 
natural=* polygons rules. The map generation was finally interrupted by 
this:

uk.me.parabola.imgfmt.MapFailedException: There is not enough room in a 
single garmin map for all the input data

Not much error log was produced. All messages about unclosed polygons 
seemed legitimate. There were 104 such messages. 101 of them were on my 
blacklist (polygons severed by Geofabrik's cutting polygon).

It seems to me that the mkgmap PBF parser works flawlessly.
