the last segment of a line is taken into account for the arrow.
When having a lot of plotpoints the dx of the last segment is smaller
than the arrow width. This is the reason why you'll see the line
when its width is greater than the arrow width at this point.
A fix is to draw the line in two intervals:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\begin{document}

\psset{unit=0.8}
\begin{pspicture}(-8,-8)(8,8)
   \psgrid[gridlabels=0pt,gridcolor=black!15,subgriddiv=0](-7,-7)(7,7)
   \psaxes[Dx=5,Dy=5]{->}(0,0)(-8,-8)(8,8)[$x$,0][$y$,90]
   \psplot[linewidth=2pt,arrows=*-,
	plotpoints=500,algebraic]{-2}{3}{sqrt(x+2)-1}
   \psplot[linewidth=2pt,arrows=->,     % plotpoints=20 is the default
	algebraic]{3}{8}{sqrt(x+2)-1}
   \rput*(4,2){$f$}
\end{pspicture}

\end{document}
