by the way the bugs in maya 2012 are so annoying and numerous I have taken to recording them so as solutions are found I have a record and also it is cathartic to let my rage bubble over into recorded video rants for all to enjoy!
Is this similar to what you are getting...

Unfortunately, when I recorded it I thought closing and opening the scene fixed it. Since then I think I found the problem to involve parenting or grouping and some kind of confusion over the child and then parents coordinate systems. I think deleting history and / or freezing transforms fixes it, but I did not make a note in the folder I recorded the video in as I normally do and it's been a while since I have seen the problem.
