I asked the other members of my parties if I had disconnected, but they said that I had not. I was initially going to write it off as system lag (there's been a lot of that in Limsa and such places) but it has happened twice today in instanced areas. The game's been a little hiccup-y for me for the past week or so, but this is the first time I've found an issue like this and felt it best to report it in case it wasn't something on my end... even though all of my testing and resetting haven't shown any problems with my internet connection or hardware.
EDIT: The same thing JUST happened in "The Minstrel's Ballad: Nidhogg's Rage". It seems to only be happening in instanced areas.
