When using the new GetDirections method to get multi-point driving directions everything works fine if the Start and End address are different. But it shows unexpected results on the map when plotting a multi-point route that has an End address the same as its Start.
Here's some sample code to reproduce this issue:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = null;
function GetMap()
{
map = new VEMap('myMap');
map.LoadMap();
map.GetDirections(["Microsoft", "Everett WA", "Bellingham WA", "Microsoft"]);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="GetMap();">
<div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:400px; height:400px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
Here's a screenshot of the results displayed on the map:
This is the third bug in Virtual Earth 6 that I've found since it was released almost 2 weeks ago.
