Of course propagation="end" works the same as <end-conversation /> and @End - that's certainly it's contract!. Remember that what end actually does is demote the long running conversation to temporary. So, you demote your lrc to temporary and hence the lrc context is still available at the next request but the conversation is temporary. You need to use <end-conversation beforeRedirect="true" /> (on the navigation rule, and then you can do a begin-conversation in your destination.page.xml) to get the behaviour you're after.
