I'm seeing this as well.  Goto goes to the wrong place and redoing it
goes to the right place.   I'm also getting intermittent font colouring
problems in org which I haven't figured out.

I've also seen problems where column view inserts a new property drawer
in the middle of a clock drawer - but again I can't reproduce what
causes this.

I get something like (this is from memory since I've fixed up the cases
I've seen so the syntax probably isn't 100% accurate)

:CLOCK:
  CLOCK: blah
  :PROPERTIES:
  :Effort: 1:00
  :END:
:END:

I'm using the following org-mode features/behaviour:

 - clocking tasks
 - properties
 - tags
 - jumping around alot during the day (I basically clock everything)
 - this problem was happening before I started using column mode and
   is still happening after incorporating column mode
 - I use org-clock-goto many times a day (it's bound to a function key  for me)
 - I have multiple org mode buffers and I regularly move between them 

I wish I had more details.  I've been trying to reproduce what causes
this for a long time...
