Are you running a compositing manager? xmonad does not move windows around in that case, but compositing managers often seem to think it does; if I immediately kill the compositing manager, things go back where they should be. (Depending on my xmonad config, I can also sometimes trigger this with mod-q.) Oddly, if I do not immediately kill it, xmonad seems to adopt the new configuration (probably when the logHook runs or something).
