looks like you have set org-agenda-start-on-weekday to nil.  The is  
works like you describe.  If you set it to a number, the week will  
always start on that day.

The problem is that, if you are still in the current week, it might  
make sense to have the week start at today when you switch back to  
week view.  But when you are further away from today, the week view  
must be constructed in a way that the day which was last shown in day  
view is also shown.  Since you have opted to have your week view start  
at whatever weekday is today, Org assumes now that you want a week  
starting on the last shown day.

Hmmmm.

I am not sure what would be best here.
