OK I see what happens now. The ways are hiking routes and every node of 
the way has access=public on it. This results in the way being split up 
into two node segments, when link-pois-to-ways is specified.

The model is, I think, that a node with an access tag is expected to be 
a some kind of gate/barrier or entrance which regulates the access to 
the rest of the way.

This data breaks that model.
