I would say not, as you can drive out again. This one http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/149932900 is very definitely a dead end, at least in a road car. It continues as a muddy track that will get surveyed when the weather gets better and I get my bike out again. It took a seven point turn to get out again. Was running Cloud GPS on my phone (OSM display), attached to windscreen and spotted a road that wasn't on the map, so I mapped it.
