Are you sure about this? I just tried what I think you are saying. IE,
making a first and second ending, and having the 4th beat in the last
bar of the first ending be a rest, and the first bar of the second
ending having a note. I then used the Frame Edit (IE: Speedy entry and
Ctrl click) and doing a "Tie End" to the first note, and it works fine.
Not sure if I misunderstood what you are saying.
I'm using Finale 2006 if that matters.....

Eric's answer works, but ONLY if there is actually a note in the first
ending, too. If there is no note in the first ending, nothing will
happen.
To force Finale to show it correctly, you can put a normal tie at the
end of the first ending, then manually edit it with the Special Tools
to shorten it and disconnect it from the note in the second ending.
For the second ending, if Eric's solution is not applicable, you can
put a tie starting ON the note in the second ending, then reverse it
using the Special Tool. If there is already a tied note starting the
second ending (as already has happened to me!) then you will have to
reverse the first tie, then reverse the second tie, etc., until you
come to an untied note. Or you can enter a slur and adjust the curve
to look like a tie.
You could also drop a note to tech support asking for the backward tie
to ALWAYS work, whether or not there is a first or second ending, with
or without notes in the preceding measure. There is no reason for this
feature to be so restrictive.
