You probably typed the name in wrong and so you actually went to the wrong system....

on rare occasions (but very recently), i have seen /map put the wrong system in even when you spell it correctly

copy and paste next time to get the correct system then look at the system it brings up and compare to what the bartender says before u click it
i usually copy the planet number before i click it then paste in notes just in case my old brain forgets

as catty said /map sometimes fails.

use /where and always put a flag on the system to be sure. ...but it also could have been a bug and it should have been reported properly.
