I haven't run into it yet using Minecraft 1.6.2, thank goodness, though it was a pretty severe issue I ran into multiple times using 1.6.1. It could have been one of the errors they fixed, now that I think of it. I will try to duplicate it several more times, then update this to say whether or not it does still exist.

I also agree with the separate button idea; it is very frustrating when you try to go into a sprint, especially on a server, and you don't actually sprint like you expect. I think part of the problem is the fact that in order to sprint, you must double tap 'W', not hold a modifier key such as Shift. I do know that Shift is already in use for sneaking, but I'd rather have the sprint key, if not be a modifier key, be another close key such as 'R'. I've also noted that in 1.6.1, yes, the sprinting is delayed quite a bit, and it makes me even more frustrated to use it. I wouldn't be surprised if several, if not lots, of people agreed on that.
My suggestion? Bind the sprint key to something else, or at least allow people to configure it, that you HOLD, not double tap. And get rid of the annoying delay seen in the more recent versions of Minecraft.
