No such "tricks". But the latest version of gosmore will help you to find these discontinuities. The returned route will start with a 'jump' to the closest point for which a solution exist. I can demonstrate this with that cool new website made by Lambertus. Go to http://tile.openstreetmap.nl/~lambertus/routing/?flat=53.7097&flon=7.2052&tlat=53.7079&tlon=7.1558&v=motorcar&fast=0 and zoom out far enough so that you can see the start and end markers on the Northern island of Norderney. The Eastern and Western road network is only connected using cycleways, so the route returned for a motorcar starts at the most Eastern point of the Western network.
