Impossible Archeology digsite?

So for the last couple of days I've been actively leveling my Archeology, having no problems at all all the way to 410.
But now I was sent to Scourgeholme in Icecrown, found the first batch of fragments without a problem, but when I was surveying over the place to look for the second 'piece', I was guided toward the southern edge of the dig-site, to the point where it led me , to outside the dig-site where I wasn't able to use my Survey ability anymore.
I've tried to survey all over that place, and I've been all across the edge of the survey area, but it kept directing me outside of the area.
So am I now stuck with an un-excavatable area, or is there some way to fix this outside of waiting five days for a GM to answer my ticket?
Also; Yes, I've also searched underground in those nerubian 'houses' and whatnot, in case that was the problem, but it wasn't in there either.

I had something similar in Feralas.
It turned out that I had to survey on a roof of a building O.o

This happened to me at The Maul (arena outside Dire Maul). I just went on to other digsites, came back later and found it reset.
@Yizelin, do you think that could be exploited to get infinite Tol'vir sites?

I've had two awkward digs so far, and I was able to solve both of them without needing to leave and come back.
The first was in wetlands, at the old raptor pit. The surveys led me to a steep slope that I could not stand on. If I stood at the top, the telescope told me to head down the slope. If I stood at the bottom, it told me to head UP the slope. The artifact was dead center of the slope. The only way I got it was by inching my way along from the side veerrry carefully.
The other problem moment was in EPL dig site around the lake and bridge. The surveys pointed me out of the dig site. So I stood at the very edge and surveyed. This was yesterday though, and the new hotfix was in place to increase the distance of your surveys affecting whether an artifact becomes visible, so the artifact showed up outside the dig site and I just ran over and grabbed it.

I have had two of these two, Dire Maul (or broken commons as I think the dig site is called in text). In the south east corner I got a green marker just at the border pointing out of the zone and I just couldn't step forward anymore or get to the item. This still has not resolved itself (ticketed to gm but still no help).
The second one was in eastern plaguelands near the "zombie ghost village" -- infected scar something. Almost the same problem, south west corner. The indicator says it's either inside or ontop of the hill but well obviously I can't go into the hill and ontop of the hill is out of the dig zone.

The GM ticket went nowhere, "sorry, nothing we can do until we fix it". But as someone here said you can just go and dig some other sites or wait a while and the dig site will "re-seed" itself. A few evenings away from wow (x-mas parties etc) and both my zones where now completable.
