0.7 mile segment connecting to US-25E.
I-26 ending in Tennessee just short of the Virginia border would fall under close calls. It terminates just south of the border feeding into US-23 which takes traffic into Virginia.

In that case US 64 and 56 are also "close calls" in Texas, though I wonder if TxDOT has anything to do with the road, since the westbound side dosen't even enter the state (I don't think it does, at least).

Furthermore, I can find no reference to US-56, US-64, or US-412 anywhere in TxDOT. There is no designation file for any of those highways, nor can I locate any document referring to a highway with any of those numbers in Dallam County.
US 166 is the same length as US-400 in MO (used to go to Springfield), and US 56 enters MO for ~ 2.75 miles to end at US-71.
US 166/400 (Downstream Blvd) leads to a casino of the same name, where you exit the highway in MO, park in KS, and gamble in OK..

MSR 896 in Delaware
Both DE 896 and PA 896 have decent length to them, however MD 896 is only 0.21 miles long. Only drove it once, but do not recall seeing any "Welcome to Maryland" signs - it was as if you went straight from PA into DE.
I wouldn't call US 59 in Arkansas a close call. Over 100 miles. It just happens to be essentially non-existent in Arkansas' eyes because it's completely concurrent with US 71 and US 270.
iPhone
All 69 feet of MSR 26 in VT
All 0.23 mi of (unsigned) MA 15 coming from RI
2 segments of RI/MA 114A totaling 0.3 miles
ME 113 and ME 113B in NH
All 0.91 mi of MA 108 coming from NH
All 1.3 miles of VT 149 coming from NY
All 1.67 miles of MA 295 coming from NY (even shorter than I-295 in MA)
All 0.7 miles of WV 43 coming from PA
As for the segment of US 340 in VA, I'm assuming the Loudon County piece. US 340 does spend a significant amount of time in VA east of Winchester
US 46 is entirely in the state of NJ and never touches PA - the western terminus is at I-80, a distinct exit well before the Delaware River.
It hasn't been extended that far yet, but the planned section of I-49 in Texas
How do the terminii of MA/RI 114A stack up?
US 206 in PA is only 0.46 miles. Used to be longer when it duplexed with US 209 to its parent.

According to Google Earth, a little less than 200 feet of each ramp is in Texas, measuring to the edge of US 59/71. The USGS map shows the highway about 270 feet from the state line, as a single road, which is likely today's southbound lanes, and Google Earth shows the same distance from the state line to the southbound lanes, so it seems the state line location is pretty accurate. There's no right-of-way map on the web site for that stretch of road, but the fences indicate that the right-of-way does not extend to the state line, which would mean that there's I-49 ROW in Texas under those ramps. Google Earth says it's about 120 feet. I don't know if TxDOT built that piece of road, claims ownership of it, or paid for the land under it. It isn't mentioned anywhere, including the Statewide Planning Map, but it's almost certainly in the state. It isn't a freeway, so it isn't "the Interstate," but it's a part of the Interstate and probably on its own ROW.

TM has 25 US Highway segments within a state that are less than 2 miles. A few carry multiple designations, so are the same segment listed twice.

MN-23 in Wisconsin.
WYO 70 takes a very short dive into Colorado, where it has one intersection with a Moffat County road. Interestingly although WYDOT maintains the whole thing, the state line crossings are signed – but not with the Colorado name. Depending on which direction you're going, you'll get an "Entering Wyoming" or a "Leaving Wyoming" sign.

FTFY
Not exactly in the spirit of OP (it isn't linking another state's highway), but Oregon's SR 120 has shrunk to about a quarter mile, in two different segments: https://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/Data/Documents/SLC_Hwy120.pdf
I'm curious about any and all such official DOT evidence of very short highways.

US-58 in Tennessee.
0.7 mile segment connecting to US-25E.
Related, US 25E used to be routed through the very southwestern tip of Virginia until the Cumberland Gap Tunnel was built. Now, the route goes directly from Kentucky into Tennessee, which necessitated US 58's extension into Tennessee.
I remember the signage at the Virginia 25E/58 intersection. No cutouts that I ever remember, though.

I-26 ending in Tennessee just short of the Virginia border would fall under close calls. It terminates just south of the border feeding into US-23 which takes traffic into Virginia.
Actually, I-26 ends at the US 11W interchange, a couple of miles short of the end of the freeway at the state line.

Makes me wonder where the original alignment went. I've been to the very point of VA atop Tri-State Peak. Did it somehow follow where the path goes currently through the Gap?

Correct, there's a 220-foot segment of I-495 in PA based on PennDOT's log; see SR 8009 listing on page 55 (http://www.dot.state.pa.us/public/Bureaus/BOMO/RM/RITS/Annual%20Electronic%20SLDs%20by%20County/District%206/Delaware%20Without%20Pipes.pdf).

Yes, it does. At one time there was a website that had photos from the old road shortly after the tunnel opened and it closed.
My memory of the route is of US 25E going straight through the intersection with US 58 and the Virginia secondary route that leads down into the town of Cumberland Gap. Tenn. That's a later alignment; at one point that was a T-intersection with southbound 25E turning right at US 58 and following the now-VA SR 6xx down into the town, but it was never the through route during my memory, which includes passing through that intersection in the late 1960s.
US 195 in Idaho, which is a funny one (barely over a mile) and is just the offramps for an interchange with US 95. Before the interchange was built, US 95 dived west into Washington and then back northeast into Idaho.

NY 17 in Pennsylvania
Almost mentioned that one, but then saw it in the OP.
Or so I thought. After they added links, I realized they are referring to the cheater version near Erie. While the
real contender is the one I think you are referring to, the quick dip in and out of PA near Sayre. :)

Are those routes that intentionally cross state lines or did someone just stick an END sign in the wrong spot?

In the case of KY 1076, it was rerouted when a new alignment of US 127 was built, and the intersection with TN 111 was realigned. Google aerial view (https://goo.gl/maps/NM329W9XJNGhC4cv6) shows the old and new alignments.
PA 163 borders Maryland. Sometimes the border is actually in the eastbound lane, see here at Citicorp Dr:
https://goo.gl/maps/3W6VmYQT9szA16Jd7
Drove this section a little over a year ago. Was driving north on US 11, turned left on PA 163 to get to I-81 south back toward VA.

The IP who added it has been range blocked for vandalism, although the content he/she added looks like the number was an honest mistake.

For TN 68, I imagine this was purely a matter of convenience. At all of about 20 yards between the state line and the intersection with GA 5, there wouldn't be any point in trying to sign it as anything different for that stretch.
Incidentally, in Street View I see no evidence of the state line itself being signed here, so the difference in route markers (https://www.google.com/maps/@34.9881096,-84.3699082,3a,75y,340.76h,84.27t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sK24vcLCiB6HlC9qbneP1kA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656) is really the only thing one has to go off of.
Close calls in Pa:
I-68 at Sideling Hill, less than ⅓ of a mile
US 250 misses the SW corner of PA by 0.7 mi
