The bug
There exist 2 absolutely identical desert shepherd's houses. This makes the shepherd's house twice as common which prevents variety in villages.
This also occurs with desert and taiga blacksmiths, see MC-141004 and MC-141007.
How to reproduce
Either load two structures listed in chat in the screenshot below:

Apparently it's MC-141004 (and some other similar issues) that were fixed, but not this one. Sorry for the confusion.
Confirmed, the files are identical and have the same hash
