Telescope pointer points not where the telescope looks when flipping...

So I just imaged NGC4565. When finished. All east of the meridian. When finished, I wanted to have a quick look at the Antennae, which had already crossed the meridian. I started the solver (astrometry.net, local install) - and it didn't solve. It usually finishes in 2-3 seconds!
So I recorded an image, and blind-solved it externally. Instead of at the Antennae it was looking at some galaxies around NGC 4245. This is almost 50 degrees away from where KStars put the telescope marker on the Antennae!

I then did a 'goto home' (this is an CEM60EC). Attached photo shows where it was ending up. So somewhere it must have done a copletely messed up sync.

So something is really fubar with meridian crossing at the moment.
I'm running kstars-3.4.2-1083_g62f78d06e.
