That materialisation is bothering me too, actually thought of two possible explanations.
1)
You can definitely hear the dong! that usually happens after the vorpvorpvorp. And we still heard the dong! when River landed the Tardis in The Time of Angels.
So maybe River is flying? OR it could be a case of '11 can land the Tardis without the vorp because he saw River do it and River can do it because she saw 11 do it here'!
*goes cross eyed* That's totally Moff!
2) *and this is rambly and speculative*
This weird materialisation coupled with the reappearance of the RTD era console kinda suggests someone has tried to copy the Tardis and has done it badly.
See if you think about it, if you wanted to build a Tardis, you'd try to copy the only one known to still exist as somewhere to start.
The outside is easy enough to copy just find CCTV or maybe a scan of the exterior. The inside though, that is hard, a Tardis is scan shielded.
If it was me, I'd start looking for people who'd been inside. There's currently 4 people on Earth who are intimately familiar with the Tardis and are pretty much unprotected against a serious alien threat; Martha, Mickey, Donna and Jack (who is in America btw). And they all travelled in the RTD-era Tardis. And Donna knows full well how the Tardis works (thanks metacrisis).
So maybe it's not the Tardis?
Sorry that was really long. There was a creepy powercut here than scared me so I kept typing for ages on battery power. *hides*
