Normally this indicates that there is a zero-length segment at that
node. The two common cases are:
- Segment with from and to nodes the same
- Two or more nodes at the same position with a segment between them.

I fix these by using the "select area" tool, just draw a box around the
node then look at selected items list. Normally you'll see multiple
nodes and a segment listed for this single point in the map.

Normally I select the segment and delete it. Then figure out which nodes
aren't used by any other segments (e.g. one in the way) and delete them
too (assuming they have no other attributes).
