while rearranging several layers in a large complex drawing, I found, that in my case the objects on the moved layers where geometrically shifted. I deleted most of the original drawing, so only the small file still containing the bug remains.
Please see attached file: Layer_rearrange_bug.svg
It only contains two layers on the most top level, called Layer_A and Layer_B, while Layer a has two sub layers.
Except of Layer_B, all other Layers doesn't contain any drawing item.
If you now drag and drop in the Layer Window the Layer_B in-between the sub layers of Layer_A, than the red square will be shifted.
