i remind some bread board brands have some break in the middle of their +/- line too
Unless you hit the wall or you do a simple continuity test when you buy it, you don't know...
Crystal or Resonator? Some resonator may don't have the built-in cap. 15pF-22pF
Seems weird.. it's more a matter of crystal and capacitance to me.. unless the crystal is defect or totally out of spec... Some 4MHz could be lazy so far.. what happen if you set HS osc mode?
Some may require an external resistor in parrallel.. never meet one of those 'till now.
One thing is sure... when you touch it, you modify capacitance to the OSC line... it speak loud to me.

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