In fact, I think it's two related, but different, problems:

1) the overview map is out of sync with the actual bounds. Please see my
e-mail about a splitting area that will have these synchronised (*);
it's a sort of rounding issue, as far as I understand.
2) the fact that, around a map split, some things do not work as they
work on the rest of the map. An overlapping map helps here - and you
wizards will probably know if it's possible to have a map overlap and
still have the routing nodes in place.

Yes, that's what I think, too.

(*) Use splitter with:
63240008: 2428928,153600 to 2444288,231424
63240010: 2444288,153600 to 2500608,262144
Please note that 2444288 is the only number I changed, the other corners
aren't lined up, but since we only use 2 maps here, 2444288 is the only
number that is at a map intersection.
