Test file child_constraint_problem.blend

Select the top bone with the child-of constraint, press G to move it with the transform operator, observe the movement direction.

Bone with a child-of constraint to another bone. Moving the bone with the translation operator or the manipulators interprets the offset in the constraint target's ("parent") space instead of world space. Changing the world transform with a python script, however, works fine:

import bpy
from mathutils import *

ob = "Armature"
bone = "head"

def translate_world(obname, bonename, offset):
    scene = bpy.context.scene
    ob = scene.objects[obname]
    bone = ob.pose.bones[bonename]
    
    mat = Matrix.Translation(Vector(offset))
    bone.matrix = ob.matrix_world.inverted() * mat * bone.matrix

translate_world(ob, bone, (3,0,0))

The problem seems to be related to translation offset, disabling these 3 lines fixes the directions (but breaks gives wrong translation from rotational part):

Disabling inverse matrix for transform operator also seems to "fix" the effect:

So, could reproduce the same issue with mere objects - as soon as you do not use all parent's transform, and do rotate the parent, transform is broken.

This has clearly to see with constinv and the hack done at the end of childof_evaluate() (first link by Lukas in above comment). Still digging…
