I've frequently wanted to map "the trails that peter out" for exactly the
reason you state.

The choices as a mapper seem wrong:
1) Map the trail : thus encouraging use of a flawed route.
2) Don't map the trail.  The casual map reader thinks OSM is missing
something.


Possible solutions include a node type of "becomes indistinct", or "dead
end".
How to mark the way is trickier.
