That certainly is a problem. A brute force solution to that problem is to make sure the network has enough "non-government" nodes to drive down the probability figures in such analyses. I guess if the probability of identifying an end node is low enough, that also makes it less likely for the government to seek warrants. (Unless they are just trying to bring down all nodes of the network.)
The I2P website has a list of different threat models and links to related papers. I guess this one falls under partitioning attacks.

So saying that the pirate party was close to a seat in parliment is not really true at all.
