While waiting for my PBEM turns to be sent back, I have been playing against the AI as the Allied player. The date is 2/23/42. On 2/22/42, I noticed the Hornet sitting in Eastern USA so I formed her into a TF and selected San Diego as the destination. I expected her to travel through the Panama Canal and take a couple weeks or more to arrive.

So imagine my surprise when I saw her enter the Indian Ocean from Aden one turn later. Her projected course to San Diego had her traveling past Ceylon, through the Malacca Straits, along the north coast of Borneo, between Luzon and Mindinao, past Pelilieu, past Truk, through the Marshalls and then straight past Hawaii to San Diego.

I do not have the turn prior to but I do have the one that shows her entry into the IO.

You're not even supposed to be able to set that destination from there because you can not reach it without going through intermediaries as Harry says. Maybe a check is not happening correctly when you set the course, and then things go bad because the movement code doesn't expect to deal with those movement orders (because a check to supposed to stop them up stream).

Yes, this move is not supposed to be possible. I am doing some checks of off-map movement at the moment, so I will make sure I add this to my list of things to check.
