Teleporting almost never works

Back before 1.9, I used to get dissconnected about 75% of the time trying to teleport (due to an unexplainable packetloss problem that i could never fix, it may be to do with being behind a router but i've followed all the advice and none of it works). i didn't mind this though, as when i logged back in I'd always be at the place i was teleporting to. But now with 1.9's new teleport system, when teleport fails it doesn't move your avatar, it just logs you out (or in one case, sends me home). Is this a bug? because its really annoying not being able to go anywhere most of the time
