After some digging in the code I found a place, where is a special treatment for roads starting with or without a node. I give it just a try and duplicated this code for the end of the road. With these changes the wrong pink line in roads with dead end has disappeared in my cases. If this patch is working, then the superfluous nodes at end of streets can be removed again.
