Confirming, I saw the same behavior. I saw the loading page, briefly saw my character in Tirisfal still, saw loading page again, then appeared in Grom Gol.
was the load screen unusually long? Did you just log in on the zep?
neither. But after the first load sceen, i was back on the zeppelin an traveling a bit further than you could normally see it i suppose.
Similar bugs happen on alliance ships as well. When traveling from Auberdine to Menethil Harbor your character is hanging in air under Dalaran outside the ship soon after the player appears on ship and travels to the harbor. " You have discovered Dalaran" :)

Also when traveling from Menethil to Theramore Isle the ship becomes stuck in the sea. After loading you get "You discovered Webwinder Path" while you are under Stonetalon Mountain. Then when you arrive at Theramore, the harbor npc's aren't loaded yet and they are flashing in white textures. When everything loads you resume control of yourself and nps's look normal again. On the way back the ship is stuck again in the sea before the loading screen and when you are on the far left side of the ship you can see deserters on a lone island flashing the same way.
TL:TR Alliance ships are bugged as well and also some of the npc's that you can see from ship.
If it happens all the time, maybe it's a bug. But, I'm quite sure this happened "sometimes" on retail too. Not sure what triggered it. But I do remember seeing it happen.
First time would be slow (loading from the disk, back when I had a HDD not SSD) then the second time it would flash up and be fast.
If this is what you're seeing, it might well not be a bug.
Of course the second bit (reported by Voodopad) about the weirdness on the ships probably didn't happen on retail ;)
If you are interested why you appear just under Dalaran (alliance) or in Stonetalon Mountains (horde) when taking ships.... that's where are Zero coordinates of the maps located.
I'm sure this bug does exist (gotten it reported multiple times), but I'm unable to trigger it. I think some more testing is needed, since I can't really debug it if I can't trigger it.
Although i havn't run into the issue with double loadingscreens, the issue where you're in alterac mountains for a split second only happened to me the first time i used a boat/zeppelin per characters, maybe trying on a fresh lvl 1 will help?

Just to say, it seems fairly normal if there's a problem porting for any reason.
Alliance ships worked fine yesterday. Today I decided to test horde zeppelins, my toon was in stv on zeppeling for UC (i left him there during the test in January) when he went to UC server crashed I decided to test the other zeppelin to Ogrimmar it worked fine in both directions, I decided to go to UC from STV again and server crashed again. However when I came back to test other zeppelins from Oggrimar the server crashed again when I was traveling from STV to Ogrimmar.
EDIT: Those bugs are already fixed.
All zepps seems to be working fine, Only loading screen seems to be the same for UC<>STV zepp no matter in which direction you fly.
I remember the issue with Stonetalon/Dalaran from Retail. It occured most frequently when the server load was exceptionally high (AQ opening event or busy raidingnights for instance). This will be hard to test right now unless the devs have some way of simulating high serverload.
i can confirm this awsell, the zeppelin did no animation, it only started the loading screen and poof i was in orgrimmar from Undercity.

Now the zeppelin from Orgrimmar to Gromgol doesnt work. You can only see the Zeep on the horizon all the time and about every 5 mins it just resets. Same applies to boat from Ratchet to Booty Bay.
When taking the zeppelin from tirisfal to grom goll, i saw the animation twice which simulates the journey.
