Another common occurrence for me is the following:

As written:

<div class="someclass">
<p>blah, blah, blah</p>
</div><!-- close class someclass -->

Which Amaya changes to:

<div class="someclass">
<p>blah, blah, blah</p>
</div>
<!-- close class someclass -->

This is small potatoes on one hand. On the other, it suggests that Amaya 
is moving markup code around, which may be a larger issue.
