I concur.

First time I tried it took a while and I just held down ENTER then after 
10-15 times it stopped. I could still exit JOSM
Second time it took only 2 times and even the menu bar was unresponsive 
and I could not exit JOSM.
Both scenario's seem to occur randomly.

I also notice that briefly after you press ENTER (which runs the add 
function) the focus switches to the edit button. No idea if that has 
something to do with it.
