Character Joint Angular Limits are being recalculated from a new position when you deactivate and reactivate GameObject
How to reproduce:
1. Open user's attached project "JointsBug.zip"
2. Enter game mode
3. Press "Toggle Active Left Bodies" even number of times inside the Game window
Expected result: GameObjects will disappear and appear in the same state
Actual result: GameObjects' joints change their angle
Note: reactivated GameObject seems to "forget" his original position and it calculates angle constraints from the new position (where it was activated last time)
Reproducible: 5.6.5p2, 2017.1.3p2, 2017.2.2p2, 2017.3.2f1, 2017.4.0f1, 2018.1.0b13, 2018.2.0.a6
Workaround: you could disable main child components of the gameObject. For example, if you just need to "hide" GameObject from the scene to reintroduce it later you can disable Mesh Rendered and Collider
Update: resolved by design, the moment gameObject is set active, the joint is initialized relative to this pose. Happens with all the other joint types too

It's a bug by design. There is no easy workaround for it.
Imagine you have to duplicate an existing GameObject with joints. You do GameObject.Instantiate(original) unfortunately all joints are recalculated and all positions and limits will be different in the cloned GameObject if it's not a prefab.
For example when trying to do ragdoll from existing moving character.
