Not sure if this should go in the technical issues or not, but here goes...
I have a skybox, like many others do. If I log off while I'm in it, when I log back on I am on the ground below, or falling there. I've had plenty of chances to test this out what with all the random crashes that 1.5 has brought us... and now I'm wondering: Is there a height limit beyond which you can't log on? How high can I build my skybox and still be in it when I log back in? I suspect that the answer might be at the unassisted flight ceiling, but I hope its higher than that...
Anyway, thanks if anyone has any clues.

Wild guess: 256 meters.
Wild guess #2: 512 meters.
Wild guess #3: However high you can get by flying.
How high up is the skybox?

Well I've tried various heights to see if it still happened. Everything I've tried from 300-600m had the same result. I kinda like having it 600m up, but its annoying to hop back up there if I get disconnected. I'll continue experimenting... I have a feeling your wild guess #1 could be it.
[edit]: Apparently that was in fact the case. Incremental experiments result in falling through the floor if its above 256m in altitude. That's got to be annoying for the guys at Kazenojin...

I've found that you can reliably log in back home on a sky platform, as long as that platform's Z-axis value is around 250m in the air. Anything higher will probably result in you plummeting to the ground, or ending up there automatically on reconnect.
