Except that I'm pretty sure the sprites are never drawn at waypoints. 
When you create a waypoint the new target is immediately placed at that 
same tile, so the last "path" goes nowhere and the sprites already there 
are still correct.  Then when you move the target the sprites are moved 
off just like they would normally be.
