I guess where this breaks down for me is why Dumbledore would feel 
the need to bind the DEs he's rounded up in the Department of 
Mysteries with an anti-disapparation jinx.  Perhaps one can 
disapparate from the DoM without being able to apparate there?  It 
would just seem to me that if you can disapparate from a location, 
you should be able to apparate to that location as well.  But maybe 
the DoM is an exception to the rule.  Or perhaps Dumbledore put the 
anti-disapparation jinx on the DEs as an added precaution, in case 
Voldemort had found a way around the disapparation restrictions.

Or perhaps Rowling's never analyzed it as closely as I have ;-)
