I was thinking that might have been the case, which is why I also went through the trouble of emptying out and selling my one other house on that character. I also emptied out the dorm too. Still no luck.
I was curious to see if this affected all houses so I checked a few of my other characters. I have an empty Pyramid of the Lost Horizon and an empty Red Barn Farm on my Fire wizard that can still be put in the bank. Just about all the other houses on my other characters had the "No Trade Items" message whether they were furnished or not.
The Red Barn Farm on my Fire was purchased relatively recently, and the Pyramid is much older though I don't ever recall taking a stab at furnishing it. I thought maybe if a house has ever had any furniture placed in it, ever, it would get bugged as no trade. Put down a crate and the Farm was still tradeable. Picked the crate back up and the Farm could still be traded.
So I thought maybe if I did the same thing with teleporter it might make the Farm no trade. Marked a destination in the Farm, put the teleporter in my Arcanum Apartment and... no luck. The Farm could still be traded. In fact, I went ahead and put it in my shared bank, walked through the teleport, and voila! I'm now in a Red Barn Farm
in my shared bank. However, I have both an "Item Identifier" and "Teleport to Start" button in my UI so it looks like I'm no longer recognized as the homeowner. I'm thinking this must be related to the new Housing Tours update then.
I also tried trashing the house while I was inside it (yes, I dared) and only got a "Your transaction was not successful" message. At least spacetime didn't collapse!
I've been documenting all of this with screenshots so it looks like I'll have to reach out to support as Willowdreamer suggested. I can also try Twitter I guess. But it looks like I may have to wait until after the holiday weekend. Thanks to you both for the suggestions!
Edit: This entering-shared-bank-house seems like a one-off thing. The teleporter no longer activates after the first time. I tried repeating this process with the Pyramid of the Lost Horizon (my only other tradeable house right now...) and was still able to set a teleporter destination and move the house to the shared bank without issue. However, the teleporter I placed in my apartment doesn't activate when I step on it.
