The first captures the key. The second is my original overworld portal. The third and fourth are in the nether, the fifth is the other overworld portal. There is another portal, underground in the overworld, which was created when I destroyed the return portal, but I can't find the stairway I used to return to the surface from there. Afterward, I repaired the above ground return portal (and enclosed it to prevent surprises.)
The seed is -1485064554143279426. I'll upload the screen captures shortly.
What I am saying is that there is a problem introduced in 1.11.1 which is similar to a problem which I experienced in a previous release. (I don't remember which release.) A subsequent release did not have the problem and that is what I mean by "this was fixed some time ago." On reflection, it may not have been intentionally fixed, it may just have been fixed by some other change to the code.
Yep; that was the problem. I tunneled to the right X coordinate in the nether, created a cave and moved the nether portal there and it works as expected. I'm surprised I've only run into this on the two occasions; it must be unusual to find an area in the nether in which this is the case.
