Brilliant!

It is very likely that they made it return the next turn on purpose in order to prevent iterative attacks.

To prevent it from returning multiple times in a round you could very well rule that it only returns to the person that was the last to wield it before being thrown. Abilities usually only work for their owner, and most weapons are assumed to be owned by their wielder.
 



Most likely yes. But I do not agree with that ruling - why should throwing weapons be so much worse than other weapon options?

If I had to guess, it would be the Str-bonus, the flexibility of using the weapons as melee weapons as well and the fact ammunition is never destroyed upon hitting. Then again projectile weapons only need to be enchanted once and bestow their magic on the not even masterwork ammunition. But I don't know.
I can't envision a realistic way in which the weapon returns fast enough to use iterative attacks either, but from a balance point of view the sacrifice you make by bestowing then weapon with the returning property in order to be on par with projectile weapons seems fair.
