No, I'm missing them, too.

Another way how it could work: if in path edit mode the select tools 
will automatically select nodes (without a checkbox). Modifier keys like 
Shift and Ctrl could add, remove or intersect selections (like known 
from the paint mode). I found another proposal at 
http://gimp-brainstorm.blogspot.de/2009/09/path-context-menu.html, which 
uses a context menu.

To push this topic a small step forward, you could file an enhancement 
request in Bugzilla.

@Peter Sikking: is this something you'd accept GUI brainstorm 
contributions or do you see it as a new feature?

Kind regards,
