To me, teleporting has always meant transferring the information that describes an object to another location, where the object is reproduced. This transfer of information occurs via light/radio waves or similar.
In a certain interpretation of the unambiguous mathematics, quantum teleportation does feature an instantaneous transfer of the quantum state. It's just that this state is useless for sending messages unless accompanied by a few bits of classical information. Since this classical info flows at less than the speed of light, there's no conflict with special relativity.
By the way, a quick Google search shows that I am not alone in my thinking, and that I am wrong. :-)
