that might be a glitch, you sometime get warped or bounce in the beam, this way a way Valve used to keep players from falling out. Just keep climbing in.
Are you making a portal 2 or portal map?

next time dont use the portal icon, it can confuse people if you're actually making a portal 2 map.

Did you change the speed at which the funnel moves the player? You might have changed the number to something that the engine doesn't like (too big, too small, too many decimal points)

That's Linear Force under the entity properties, in case you didn't know. Default is 250.

Also, could be that the player is entering with too much speed? Maybe make the fall shorter?
