As I understand it you're using a file from the Clipart Gallery. What folder is it in and what's it's name? Artwork from the Clipart gallery can create a lot of problems if you start editing them in XaraX, as a great deal of them have been created in other drawing progams and imported into the ClipArt Gallery as Windows Meta Files.
Secondly you say that you're using the Pen tool to create a copy of the outline you wish to create. By default the pen tool (& the Freehand Tool) only ever creates curves (to the best of my knowledge) so it's not suprising that all your nodes are curves.
However, looking at your second screengrab I'd say that the these are sharp, not smooth curves.
I would say that the majority of users create their shapes using the Shape Editor Tool and very few use the Pen Tool.
Try re-drawing the outline again using the Shape Editor Tool with the Cusp set to Sharp (Z) and then try adjusting the nodes.
