There is no red line for Bend Path and Pattern Along Path (the ones I
checked). The nodes are there and one can drag the invisible path so it
is probably a bug. I'll file a bug report if it's not fixed in a day or
so.

After 0.46, a new icon was created to show/hide the "red line" of the original path. It is located in the Node toolbar.
Are you sure you checked this ?
