Any reason the offcurve nodes need to be deleted as well? I would like to keep them. Same happens if I do GSPath.nodes.remove(node).

You need to remove the second of the two nodes. That is a line node that is a zero length line segments. removing it doesn’t change the path structure. the first of the two nodes might be a curve node and removing that makes the preceding segment a line (the next node is a line).
