You are in fact not using that line at all. If you were, this wouldn't be happening. You're using Move(), which fails when somebody is already there.

If you set someones loc directly to a valid turf then they will be placed there regardless of the density of the turf or anything on it. The only way you can send someone to a black screen by setting loc is to set loc to a null value which happens if you pass in invalid coordinates to locate. If the coordinates are valid then the problem is elsewhere in your code and we can only make random guesses if you don't post the pertinant code.
