I noticed that sometimes when I Save+Quit the game QUEST beacons from the Jump Screen disappear and I am unable to complete the associated quests. Also on more than one occasion the position of the EXIT beacon changed after I continued from a saved game.
This bug seams to manifest when saving the game while being at a beacon next to (1 jump away from) a labeled QUEST or EXIT beacon. I don't know if it's always the case though.
While failing a quest due to this bug is just annoying, once the EXIT beacon changed position from well outside the rebel controlled space to far inside the rebel controlled space after a Save+Quit, essentially making this run through the game impossible to complete, since flying this deep into rebel space would have been suicide.

Re: Disappearing EXIT and QUEST Beacons
Apparently, a lot of things which are randomized are randomized again when you reload your game. Another thread reports a similar problem with prices and sector layouts:

Re: Disappearing EXIT and QUEST Beacons
Yes indeed lots of things are randomized, but this bug seams to differ in that (at least for me) the markers never disappeared or moved when I loaded the game while not being directly next to them. When I save a couple of jumps out, all is well when I load again later on.
