Yeah, thats kind of annoying. Switching to another tool will make the nodes disappear, when a path is turned off.

I usually hit M for the Move Tool (easy to memorise).

For better accuracy when placing the nodes, just zoom in real closely.
The normal zoom at the bottom of the canvas goes to 800%, but you can go way beyond that.

Not sure if this is normal behaviour, but my Gimp zooms in and out by holding down CTRL and using the mousewheel.
