YEah circuit design most follow some requirement... BUT you can still use a switcher made with relay or whatsoever then when you want to program your PIC, you just flip the switch.
OR modify your circuit. If your current design use some push button.. sitting them on those pins won't affect anything. It really depend of your whole design.
I'll suggest you to read the Microchip ICSP guide bellow.

for PIC programmer, i don't suggest ANY cheap simple serial type such as JDM... they tend to have tons of weird issue. A nice starter, is Microchip Pickit 2. ~40 USD. USB, well supported, provide a free debugger for some PIC model. Work smooth.

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