I have experienced the same bug, though only in multiplayer LAN, I haven't tested in singleplayer or multiplayer yet.
Occurs when you:
Repair any tools with the required material, or merge two tools together
If you left click the merged item (the result of the tool and the material, or the two tools):
The anvil resets and you loose the XP required for the merge, but the original tool(s) and materials are given back to you
If you shift left click the merged item:
The merged tool goes to your inventory, but when you try to move the tool in your inventory, the anvil resets and you loose the XP required for the merge (but keep tools/materials)
Though it may seem that you loose the XP, you will regain the lost XP when you recieve XP for something.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Insert tool and material required to repair the tool into anvil 2. Left click on the repaired tool (anvil resets, XP lost) 3. Recieved XP by killing animal/mob, mining (XP regained)
