Still... They look so damn ugly :P

I'd hope they would introduce some ponds or something the rivers could dissapear into

You could very well be correct.

The problem with this bug is that they need to add another end tile to the rivers for land endings, which they don't have (look at the xml for rivers and you can see it). They have beach endings and cliff endings, but not land endings. They need a lake tile and I would mod it in myself if I thought the game would see it, but right now I don't think it can. 

I think that adding the third river end would solve the redering problem here, but I can't say for sure what monsters this would bring into the mix.

I've reported this problem since Beta 4, and have gotten no reply from the devs. It is annoyingly immersion-breaking... PLEASE Derek and Brad, put it in the bug list for the next beta !!!

Your not the only one that reported it... I did as well. Either they haven't seen the bug report, or the problem is really hard to fix, or it's so low priority that they just can't get to it yet. I would like to see it fixed as well. Eventually they will fix it.

So, instead of a waterfall we get a waterfail?

Yup, you can actually reproduce this effect without the map generation. Cast raise land on water next to a waterfall and boom floating waterfall.
