Odd.  The track start location seems to be near Sheffield (like my 
example was) rather than a postbox in London.  I've just tried doing the 
same for a waypoint of mine:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/trace/981163/view

and that correctly appears as a waypoint at a specified location.  You 
should be able to download that GPX to see the contents of the file.
