So! If you bring your familiar to the rift planes and then leave the rift.. your familiar gets stuck there. You get the messaging that "your familiar is too far away too command." At this point, your familiar won't return, won't follow any commands, and you're stuck having to go back into the rift to carry it out. Quite the inconvenience. Bug or intended?
Just did some quick and dirty testing and a brief nance through the code, and I was not able to reproduce this, nor does it look like it should be possible. If it happens again, a bug report from the room you landed in would be useful. You should be able to bug the familiar itself...I think.

Aha. I only just noticed the bit at the end of the original post about having to go back in and carry the familiar out. We will file this as a feature. It's absolutely intended that a familiar will not follow you into or out of the rift. Being able to carry one in by hand isn't something I had originally considered, but I don't see any reason to change that behavior.
The bit where your familiar comes to you when you die in the rift is, however, a bug. (Assuming, of course, that the familiar was not already in the Rift.)

If you die in the rift and your familiar was in the cavern, then the familiar joins you on the rift when you die. So when you decay (because no one rescues there!) you can't go pity yourself back in town somewhere. Instead, you have to spell back up and go back into the rift if you want to get your familiar back.
