I call it the Heinlein Syndrome, because he was really bad for that in his later stuff. Gaiman suffers from it greatly as well. It tends to happen with authors that focus a lot on the characters and ideas and less on the plot. They get caught up with what they're interested in and then realize it's time to end the book so it gets rushed.
