Stewart,I understand your concern. However, as I see it, the alternatives to 
local protection of a failed pinned node of a SR-TE LSP are somewhat limited:
1. You can wait (with no traffic) until failure of the pinned node is 
recognized (e.g., fillowing IGP cobversion) and a new policy(that does not 
inckude the failed node) is recomputed and installed. 
2. You can pre-compute and pre-install a backup policy that does not have any 
common pinned nodes with the original ones and, once the origibal policy fails, 
switch ti the backup one end-to-end.
My 2c.

If it is an adjacency SID for (S,F) then you are violating the original 
intent of the ingress PE which was to send the packet along the path 
S->F. I really don't think you can blindly repair such a packet since to 
do so violates the policy applied to the packet. You have to do a policy 
check, and you have to make sure that the packet is not subject to ECMP 
along the repair path since ECMP avoidance might have been the intent of 
using the SR Adjacency in the first place.
