The problem seems to occur if a control on one page is inside the 
boundary of a control on another page. Then the first control decides 
to move to the page of the second. Usually happens when you resize 
the page/tab panel.

My solution is to select all (or at least the offending controls) and 
use the arrow keys to move one pixel left and then one pixel right. 
This seems to fix the problem.
