When try to delete a split point that I have just created, SW
gives me the error: "sketch endpoints and center points cannot be
deleted unless the endpoint is the split point of a curve"
Contradictory, no?
This is on a converted spline.

this works for me on SW2009 SP2 so I suspect that your split point is directly over another enitity or close to a spline point. In that case, try using "select other" to select and verify the actual split point.
I did a quick test;
Start a new sketch
Create a 3 point spline
Add a split point
Close the sketch
Start a new sketch
Convert the splines from the original sketch into the second new sketch
Hide the original spline
Try to delete the point .... doesn't work.
No, I'm not saying that. I'm addressing Will's original question/problem as I read it - but perhaps I've mis-interpreted it:
1) create 3 point spline
2) create a split point on that spline
3) now try to delete that split point (Will gets warning when trying to do this)
I suspect that he is not picking the split point but some other enitity so I suggested using the "select other" on the RMB to explicitly pick the split point.
BTW, you should be able to delete spline points also.
I see; my apologies. I tried a simple test of this, and I was able to delete the split point on the converted entity.
Perhaps Will you can post a model for us to take a look at and verify.
There are 4 sketches copied from a planar spline.
The first is a split feature, with the split line converted into a 3dsketch. A split point can be deleted without issue.
The second is the same 3d sketch, as construction geometry. Deleting the split point appears to delete the curve on one side of the split point, but it shows the correct, unsplit original spline after a rebuild.
The third is a copy of the original spline, in plane. Split points delete without issue.
The fourth is a copy of the original spline, as construction geometry. Deleting split points does not work and gives the "sketch endpoints and center points cannot be deleted unless the endpoint is the split point of a curve" error.
I should note that my original issue was with a 3d surface edge, converted into a 3d spline, as construction geometry.
