How did you convert it to XML? In my conversion, there is no 
natural=coastline left. Can you upload the converted XML?

I used this command to convert:

osmosis --rb 63240790.osm.pbf --wx 63240790.osm

For the record, JOSM refused to load the file until I replaced 
version="-1" with version="1" and changeset="-1" with changeset="1".

If the tile does not have any closed natural=coastline way, then mkgmap 
is "allowed" to make the tile land-only. Maybe splitter could be 
"wisened" to draw a natural=coastline rectangle around the otherwise 
coastline-free tile?
