One of my toons was at the end of a jumping puzzle In Lion’s Arch, and went to Eternal Battlegrounds, using the WvW UI. I was dced there, and when I came back, I was in the middle of LA.
It happened to a friend of mine today, same circumstances, and the JP was in Caledon forest.

Is it a known bug ?

Heck, I got a free shuttle to LA from Malchor’s Leap last night, despite being there like an hour.

It’s a DC thing, not a JP thing, I think.

Yeah, it’s a DC thing. It seems to happen when the server loses contact with the client while it’s updating your location (or something like that). In effect, the game doesn’t know where you are supposed to be and defaults you back to LA. (Not sure why it can’t look to where your last “known good” location, but… then again, I have no idea how it’s programmed so maybe that’s not trivial or it’s simply more reliable to put you in a safe spot.)
