The Keying panel is a property page by default showing the local transform parameters.  The behaviour is not random, these are the exact value local transform of the object, as in other software that do not have a Transform Panel like XSI.  

The Transform Panel is the local transform of the objects the majority of the time, but in a few cases it can be meta-parameters that's relative, so it's the transform panel that can change behaviour depending on the manipulator (or transform) settings.  It's really an edit box for the manipulator.   You'd have to give specific example of when you saw objects being shifted in unexpected places so we can see what the Transform Panel did in that case.
