All I can tell is that Osmosis does so. If it is too hard to remove the 
references to omitted nodes from the ways, I guess that we could tone 
down the mkgmap parser, so that it does not complain about this when 
reading osm.pbf.  The XML parser already does not complain when reading.

I tested the splitter osm.pbf output again on yesterday's dump. The 
resulting img files were smaller than the ones produced from the osm.gz 
output. Thus, I would believe that there is something wrong with the 
splitter osm.pbf output that causes mkgmap to think that polygons are no 
longer closed and must be omitted.
