You can still move a node that is part of a way. Your mouse cursor
just has to be inside the tiny square. I think there used to be a
small buffer around it that got removed. You can bump the node size up
in the advanced settings (mappaint.node.unselected-size) which will
make the target you have to hit a little bigger but will also make it
display larger on the screen which may or may not be desirable.
Partially because of this I tend to just use the "w" mode to move
nodes that are part of a way.

But I do get hit by this every once in a while and usually it produces
an expletive :)
