It is not a problem at all. Because the ordering is explicit as you can observe. A bbox request would bbox on the nodes, but not return all the nodes for the complete relational-way. The editor should simply say, you cannot extend an incomplete way or move the last point. Or in best case, offer an option to download it fully.
