Zep,
I had this same issue, and I found a fix if you still need it. Go here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Customizing_the_Read_More
Scroll down a bit to the heading ‘Link Jumps to More or Top of Page’ and that should help you out.

I always code on my own – I never use the Visual Editor, but never bothered to turn it off… I turned it off as you said – and everything works great!!!
I don’t understand why that happens since I don’t actually do anything at all with the visual editor – but whatever, it worked!
Whistler202 – You have NO IDEA how much help you just were to me… I’ve spent countless hours testing, guessing/checking, and searching the web for answers.
THANK you. A thousand times thank you. 🙂
