Ok so this just started happening yesterday when I dc(usually b/c my internet goes out), I'll log back in and things are amiss.
For example, yesterday, I was on a flight path to Dalaran when my battleground queue popped up. During my battleground, I got dced, logged back in and was out of the battleground, also I wasn't flying anymore and fell from the sky and died. Another occasion I came back on and was flying to some random place. Or I'll be in a different city, like a few minutes ago. I was in Dalaran in the bar right where my stone is set to, but my stone wasn't on cd or anything...I was originally in org.
People were telling me I've been hacked, but I have an authentication key attached to my account. It's one of those keyring ones and is always sitting on my desk. Also I would think some of my things would be missing, but nothing ever is.

This isn't so much a 'bug' as perhaps something specific to your account when you 'exit ungracefully' that isn't telling the game where you are in the world.

Getting sent back to your home-point when all else fails is actually a feature :)

I'd first recommend a full reset UI, just to rule out any corruption issues that might have cropped up. If you find this still happens after (sans add-ons) we may need to look into this further. Also, it's always important that if you do run addons you make sure they are up-to-date (as well as ONLY get them from reputable sources).

To do a full reset UI, you will want to save your addons in another spot if you wish to preserve them.

Then rename/delete or move your WTF, Cache and Interface folders while WoW is shutdown. Reboot your system.

Note, if you are running Vista make sure your permissions are set so it does not undo your changes.

More detailed instructions for different operating systems, including Macs are here.
