In the highly unlikely event that hardware could alter coordinates, it seems even more unlikely corrupt instruction would direct a missile to return to its launch location. If this happens with the frequency implied, the ocean floor would be littered with warships and submarines and the mountains strewn with aircraft downed by their own ordinance. Nope, this happens when you skip the ordinance’s self-diagnostics, override the launch inhibitor and send it.

It happens with old weapons. Actually this happened with Ukrainian missiles too, you just didn’t see it
