Not offhand. It's a problem I've noticed more often when looking at translations of larger bodies of text, though. Translating simple, highly standardized sentences like those is what neural translation does best, because it is able to basically just consult an internal phrasebook that it's compiled from its training data.
I'm going home -> Je rentre a la maison
Home sweet home -> La douceur du foyer (the translation is weird but the word foyer was expected)
I feel at home -> Je me sens chez moi (this one is particularly good, it didn't translate the word home directly)
Can you share your exemples where it fails?
