Can't strafe right while holding control

While holding control to sprint, pressing the 'D' or strafe right key doesn't allow you to move to the right. It is not a problem with my keyboard, since I can use the D key in other things, and if I am not holding control in-game I can still move to the right.
What I expected to happen:
I can hold control and strafe to the right simultaneously and encounter no problems.
What really happens:
I am unable to strafe right while holding control for a few seconds, like running into an invisible wall.
Steps to reproduce:
Load up any Minecraft world running the newest official release or snapshot, and start sprinting by holding control. Then, hold the D key down and try to strafe right.
