I am using MRA for several years now and was not aware of this typical issue.
No I have never seen this issue either, but that is only part of the advise. Placing waypoints on crossings is recipe for disaster. Since GPS signal is only accurate for a few mtrs, it can be enough for the app to direct you into a street, just for you to turn around. That has always been a problem, also in the previous app. In today's app a waypoint's priority of announcement is higher that a navigation announcement. Effectively killing your turn by turn instructions.

the automatic route creator as of today even violate against this guideline.
Yes, when adding waypoints through the toolbox, or converting a track to a route, the planner has the tendency to place WPs at the direct place where the route/track changes direction. Also, in ALL manuals and presumably ALL forum posts about it, it is advised to review them, and replace them away from crossings. But you are right. In my experience it is quicker to draw a route over a track yourself, or add waypoints manually by clicking ON the route line when zoomed in. Therefore I never use those functions at all.
