Apparently, the x and z axis do not relate between overworld and the nether. I created a portal in the nether to travel in a particular direction, and ended up creating a portal, in the over world, that appeared in the opposite direction.
never used to have this problem. i thought i had portals sussed.

How long's the distance between where you entered the nether and where you came back?

Cannot confirm.
Build portal around 0, 0, stepped in
Portal in Nether was created around 0, 0
Build portal in Nether at 360, 0, stepped in
Portal in Overworld was created around 3000, 0 (~ 360 * 8, 0 * 8)

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.

I think the reporter is talking about the orientation of the portals, not their position. As such, it's probably a duplicate of MC-3.

Aha. Quite clear after re-reading the description.
