This is a well-known bug. You can use SH3 Commander to assign yourself a new grid, or you can just use GWX and ignore it, since they remove the renown for patrolling your assigned grid anyway.

So why is BF the only grid that this happens with?

Have no documentery evidence to support this but nothing else makes sense.

What makes sense is what happened - they screwed up.

2) How much does BdU's orders actually matter? I mean, if you have a sub with a range of 20000km, do you actually beeline it to a random grid 3000km away, hang out for a day, and then shoot back to port? Do you meander over that way smashing up targets of opportunity, but leaving torps for your actual patrol grid? Or do you just go hunting?

It's a game. You can do whatever you want. As I said in answer #1, you get renown for going to your assigned grid and more for staying there 24 hours. This is completely ahistorical. What really happened is you went to your assigned grid and stayed there until you were ordered to go somewhere else. I stay there for two weeks and then start rolling a 6-sided die. If a 1 comes up I move to an adjacent grid and pretend they told me too. After another week I'll move on a 1 or a 2, and so on. Silly, but it feels right to me.

3) Also, is there any practical advantage to completing a patrol (more experience? renown? etc?) If you don't, will the ghosts of UBoats Past, Present, and Future come and repremand you for your selfish and uncooperative ways?

What do you mean by "completing" a patrol? You go home when you're low on fuel, or low on torpedoes, or you're bored. The game doesn't care.
