Some time has passed since you asked this, but for your information there was some semi-recent discussion about reference nodes in a Neo4j GitHub issue - in summary, Peter Neubauer (Neo Technology employee) discusses either removing the concept of reference nodes, or adding a setReferenceNode() API call.

There doesn't seem much conclusion from that thread, but to answer your question literally, right now you're not missing a better way to recreate the reference node - hopefully one will be coming soon!
