Naturally.

The easiest solution is for client-side goto not to use transports.

A better solution is to send more sanity information in the goto packet. 
  E.g., for each move give not only the direction but also the starting 
location.  If the starting location isn't right the move is canceled.

A similar solution is to add code in places where goto'd units may be 
moved to cancel their orders.  I have no idea how many places this would be.
