I don't know. I have started on my program to display the
routing graph information on top of the roads.
I hope it will help to understand what is going on.

Attached is the first result. Not very useful yet, it displays the
routing nodes in black with the direction held within each part as a
short arrow. Best viewed in an svg viewer such as inkscape so you can
hide layers. I've attached a screen shot as well.

I based this on NodConvert but it doesn't cope with many files.
Do you have any updates to NodConvert?
