Regarding

The latter consists of 48 nodes,

... -87.878876,39.879299,46 -87.935219,39.879108,47 -87.9376178,39.8798062,48

But we see e.g., node 47 is not present in the current OSM boundary. Same with 46...

We conclude that Mapit data is perhaps based on some quite older OSM versions. Perhaps now frozen in time and not getting updated, even yearly?

In fact the entire jog at https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/1801537#map=14/39.8785/-87.5870 is missing.

You can see the data extract history at https://global.mapit.mysociety.org/generations.html Yes, it's not been updated since 2021, I'm afraid. We haven't had the resources to do so.
