So far I have never logged out without first heading back to town. It takes longer and sets you up for a nasty surprise when you log back in.
For some reason, however, I occasionally find myself outside of town when I log back in. I'm usually standing near the waypoint that I took to get back to town before logging off. It doesn't seem to be a problem with the game not saving, since the items that I sold and salvaged in town before logging off are still gone.
Is this a bug? Has anyone else run into this problem?

You always start from your most recent checkpoint, or, if you selected a new quest step, wherever that quest step starts. It's not a bug.
