There was one nightmarish bug with joints i came across in 2012, when rotating a characters limb, the gizmo would would not respond, there would be a short pause, then all of a sudden the joint would snap to that position, and if you ctrl-Zed the joint would treat this new position as it's default pose. this happened with annoying frequency, sometimes even when rotating something like a primitive sphere.
