I suspect it is your long handed inserter causing the problem, inserters are not very good at putting items on corner belts. If you move the long handed inserter and normal inserter down 1, it should fix your problem.

This happens, when an item is allready at this spot, the long inserter drop its, but because of the collision to the allready exists item, the item cant get moved to the area of the belt, where it should go if werent the other item.

You can see the same issue with Miners. Wenn they drop new items to a curved belt, the dropped item will get pushed out of the belt area be another item that is allready on the belt at this spit.

In summary, the wait for free spot on belt function is broken on curves. This is because the outside lane of the belt creates additional room (for new items) while the item passes the curve. if the curve has passed, you c the additional room for new items got removed again, but while passing the curve, new items can be dropped to the belt, but due the missing room on the belt, the new dropped item will get pushed out of the lane of the belt and gets stucked.

Placing items to the curve is not guaranteed to be "stuck-free" under all circumstances. So I would say not a bug.
