Quickly holding down shift right after pressing Kelvin's Ice Path results in Shift/Pitch Up not registering,

In the video you can see keyboard inputs in the bottom right. Shift was pressed after 2 was pressed, and yet 'Pitch Up' was not registering despite Shift being held. Letting go of Shift and then pressing it again is the workaround.

This seems connected to a larger issue with the game where being too predictive with inputs will result in them not registering when pressed too early.

You could be holding down a button for an ability, item, shooting or movement but it wouldn't register unless you let go and press it again - even though there is no practical reason (from the user's perspective) for the game to not accept an input that was preemptively held down, and executing at first availability.

It happens intermittently in every game (often with shooting not occuring even when mouse is held down), though I'd have to experiment offline to create reproduceable video footage of examples other than Kelvin's above.
