Has nobody seen this bug?

No, but when I switched to Mac (~2 years ago) I noticed that two things changed when I typed fast -- 1) letters are sometimes exchanged (e.g. "prolbem" instead of "problem") and 2) shift (and other modifiers) are sometimes sticky for the next letter or ignored for the actual letter.

I have been typing on dozen different keyboard through the last 15 years and never ever have I experienced this before, and the frequency for these mistakes are actually quite high.

Till now I have blamed the (cheap?) keyboard which came with my Mac.

Long story short: could it be that you experience the "sticky shift" which will just insert a plain newline, instead of trigger the special return action?
