Not sure if all flight planning systems do the same...ours isn't Jepp but it also assumes you will have burnt CONT fuel by the end of the trip.

Doing lots of short sectors we often come up against this problem but its easily solved at flight planning stage by working forward...

Simply add TRIP fuel figure to MLW and bingo you have a figure for MTOW. If you burn your CONT fuel then all is well. If you make fuel on the trip then you have to consider options for burning off fuel prior to landing but thats life.
