Not yet. Here it is, with the track section removed for clarity:

I hand edited the above route points to exactly match the waypoints.
Then:
gpsbabel -i gpx -o magellanx -f Southside_Brook.gpx -r -F test.rte
produces:

And here is the route file manually created on the Magellan Explorist 210 from 
the waypoints: ( route name = "TEST-M" )

The Magellan loaded the "test" route file!
I saw some questionable stuff in the GPX files I was using, so that's most 
likely the cause, I guess. One file did have two route sections. I'll inquire 
on the QGIS list to see if garbage GPX output is a known issue.
