Resolved. Sort of.
The problem vanishes (i.e. nspec equal to {i,1,n} works) when the above definition for d is replaced by
d[i_] := Piecewise[{{0, i == 0},{pi, i == n+1}}, 5/10 i/n];
Or any non-zero number aside from pi. I don't think RecurrenceTable needs to evaluate d[n+1], and the expression returned, so long as it is not zero, certainly doesn't effect the result. Weird.
