No, I used the ellipse/circle tool and followed the instructions step by step (starting at the upper left corner and draging to the lower right corner within the ststed pixel range) . I've even tried doing the step using a circle and the nodes are still off. I've attached a screen capture for you to see.

I just tested the latest version of Inkscape and the nodes appear
correct if you draw an ellipse directly with the Ellipse tool and then
convert the ellipse to a path.
How did you draw your ellipse? My guess is that you
drew a circle,
rotated it, and then squeezed it. This is the only way that I can think
of to get the nodes at other than 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock. Rotating the
circle will rotate the ellipse handles to a different orientation.
