Something like this happens to me when dragging anything out of the
downloads folder stack and dropping it on the desktop. It will always
land higher and to the right (several icons worth of distance) from
where it is dropped. This is on OS 10.9.1.

I am using the Sort by: Snap to Grid option. The grid spacing is
set in the middle of the range of choices. When the above occurs,
the landing position is not aligned on the grid, and frequently it
will be somewhat on top of something else that was already there
(the 20 or so items on the right side of the desktop).
