 The real nasty things about this bug are:

 * It doesn’t show up in Firefox (the most common default browser among web
 developers)

 * It’s pretty common, but almost nobody noticed it

 * It shows up when doing/undoing a bullet list or a number list

 * The bug adds ghost spans, one per item, that you must remove manually

 * And manually means manually in HTML mode, because in Visual mode, the
 “Remove formatting” button usually removes too much formatting

 * The bug is so strong that if you remove the ghost spans and then undo a
 list, the same number of ghost spans are added back again

 * If you don’t remove the garbage as you go, it gets messier and messier,
 because the ghost spans start to appear also where never there has been a
 list

 * I wasn't able to find where the bug comes from: a search of all
 WordPress code returns nothing interesting
