i'll bet on at least one I/O short to GND (Vss) or short to another I/O. Try to set all unused I/O to input. But before, remove the PIC, measure impedance between ALL i/o and Vss, then Vdd.
Something suck juice here...
OR, a VSS is connected to VDD and so on... kind of routing mistake
If the MCLR pin was just put backward... the PIC would just act oddly... not suck as this juice.
How about the current measure?

It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
