A lot.
Let us start with the smaller issues:
- it could assign ships and airplanes as city defenders (thanks Raahul)
- it can lose units by making them home to a city that can't upkeep them,
or make a city unable to produce anything/grow because of it
- it does not allow us to defend allied cities that are in danger
- it interferes with unit missions (thanks Tony)
- there is no code to check if we are a better defender (thanks Tony)
But the big bad issue is, I believe:

If the city contains a unit whose home city it is, leave it since it has a
defender. While not optimal, so far so fine.

If it doesn't, set it as our homecity and make us the defender of this
city. So far, still ok.

So all is fine? Not so fast. Let's go back to the beginning:

So the turn after we've made made the city our home and decide to defend
it, we automatically (no danger checks even!) decide the city doesn't need
defending anymore. Great!
