OSM server error: "Opening and ending tag mismatch"

[mikini]

Hi there.

After a short editing session I uploaded changes opening a new changeset and leaving it open. When trying to save changes afterwards I got a nice dialog with a message similar to the exception below ("Fatal error: Opening and ending tag mismatch: anonymous line 3 and changeset at :7").

I went to the Upload dialog's Changeset tab and tried to update my opened changeset list and toggled "Upload to a new changeset" and back to "Upload to an existing changeset" selecting the only open changeset. This made the upload succeed.

Shortly after I was inspecting the history of a way (137307317) and when clicking on a node in the Nodes list of the Nodes tab the exception below occured. Screenshot of this is attached.

Additionally I got this error when using the pre-filled form link in the exception dialog (this was before creating an account on Trac):
"Genshi UnicodeDecodeError error while rendering template '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Trac-1.0.9-py2.7.egg/trac/ticket/templates/ticket.html', line 251, char -1"

Thanks

NPE fixed in r10021 but root cause is bad xml encoding.
