%%%Ubuntu Linux 10.04 Kernel 2.6.32-24 x86_64
Blender 2.53, 2.49b

Hit E or Shift E to extrude something, then hit ESC or right-click to cancel. This only cancels the "grab" or "move along normal" action, but not the extrude action. This results in silently created double vertices, edges and/or faces, which was very bothersome for me, before I figured out what was happening.

Someone in the #blender freenode channel told me this behaviour is very useful, for "insetting" faces, by hitting e, then right-clicking and hitting s to scale the extruded faces. So I suggest to cover this use case, allow chaining of E and S to extrude at original position, then immediately scale. The use case is already partially covered by extruding while holding the CTRL key (to make sure stuff is extruded at original position), then left clicking and hitting S to scale. But chaining E and S would certainly be handy.

If the current behaviour is not changed, the double architecture should be visually highlighted in some way, to avoid confusion.%%%

%%%It's rather a feature request not a bug.
To me the way extrude works seems very logical and convenient.
Also it's not hard to remove double vertices if they appeared by single "remove doubles" click.%%%

%%%Indeed, this is more like a feature request. Adding to our todo wiki for someone to do: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.5/Source/Development/Todo/Tools#Mesh_Editing

Thanks for reporting.%%%
