Wrong order of statements when converting .osh files to .osc

What version of osmium-tool are you using?

osmium version 1.13.2 (v1.13.2-28-g2eba8a5)
libosmium version 2.17.3
Overpass API 0.7.57.1 74a55df1

What operating system version are you using?

Ubuntu Linux 20.04

What did you do exactly?

I have a .osh file which I convert to a .osc file (using osmium) to initialize a Overpass API database with attic data. Apparently, Overpass API expects the items to appear chronologically, with ways after nodes. If I import the .osc file, Overpass API would complain about missing nodes. If I re-order the .osc file, the import is successful.

Actually, I do not know whether the bug is with osmium or with Overpass API, so I created a bug report there too: drolbr/Overpass-API#652

These are the commands that I would use:

osmium cat bug.osh -o bug.osc
cat bug.osc | update_database --db-dir=test --keep-attic

Query an object:

echo '[out:json][date:"2011-01-01T00:00:00Z"];way(86127691);out meta geom;' | osm3s_query --db-dir=test

Result:

I modified the bug.osc and re-ordered/merged the create/modify/delete statements, see bug1.osc.

When I use this, I would get the following result:

  "version": 0.6,
  "generator": "Overpass API 0.7.57.1 74a55df1",
