Can say the aforementioned bug still happened to me recently, although probably because I tried going the other way to explore the deeper parts instead of the quest marker cave exit. It teleported me outside the northeast cave entrance which has a "scientist" blocking the path. Map was disabled so I couldn't teleport to a beacon so I hiked up the Thorny Passage going to the southwest cave entrance near the Dim Forest beacon north of the Giant Banyan.

Encountered critical bug on this quest when teleported out after going out of first location just right after getting the weapons back
