This is still unfixed as of 2.74.

"Home" (aka. 3d view menu->View->view all) works only when not in 'lock to cursor' mode. It does not work when 'lock to cursor' mode is on, as specifically stated in the original bug report.

The ability to pan was added based on feedback from this thread.
http://lists.blender.org/pipermail/bf-funboard/2013-July/005252.html

If you pan so the cursor is far outside the view - you can indeed get into some confusion.
However this isn't really a bug, we just don't prevent this odd scenario completely.

But agree its quite annoying that the cursor could become lost outside with the view offset.

Now even if lock is enabled - the cursor will be placed inside the view.

i don't understand, all working properly, if we switch off lock to cursor mode - we can press alt+home and set center view to cursor
