OK I'll change the test to n < points.size() - 1 then.

Yes it did, as there were only three nodes on the road but the first four
points were not nodes and so the test against nodes.size() wasn't true.

I think the reason that osm2mp used to give worse results was that it
joins roads together if they are the same type and name.  This gives
more opertunity for the bugs to show as the ways in OSM are often
quite short and end at junctions even when the road doesn't change.
