I don't know about Mapsource, but this is how the Garmin GPSMap 62s
behaves. It is looking for the nearest "road", whatever this is, and tries
to route from that. If this "nearest road" is not connected, you will get
a routing error.
Your example with two points only works, if the closest road is routeable
and connected.
