Well,
Only one really jumped out at me. Occassionally (probably about 15-20 times during the full playthrough), I hit a key during a special attack and the game didn't register that I'd done so. Mildly annoying and in a couple cases cost me a bonus damage upgrade since the attack was fatal. It was fairly consistent in terms of happening repeatedly and after the first few times I took to pressing the keys really hard to make sure I wasn't just tapping them too lightly.
Alas, the program definately seemed to just fail to recognize the keypress from time to time.
The game also tended to have small freezes occasionally (Similar to games that required cd-rom loaded would freeze for a moment when the game needed to spin the cd back up again for one reason or another), and when this happened during a special attack, the time would elapse. In the case of the player or tycho's, this was almost surely a fail. When using gabe, it would just crunch everything together so it was still possible (although much more difficult) to complete the special attack mini-game.
No other bugs noticed from a full playthrough. Much less buggy than the first go around.
A+ this time Hothead. Well done.

i have the third (blue) monkey key, but i cant enter the fight. i get a 2 second animation of everyone poping in and out of frame. and on my case log it says i haven't used the second key yet.
I go that too, and when I didn't find an answer here, I checked GameFAQs. Apparently, it's caused by using the first card after you get the second. Either wait for a patch, or restart.

The 5th post in that thread, point #2, posted by somarilnos, appears to be the same problem I experienced.
X360 version.

The first time in the monkey fighting arena, I didn't appear in the cutscenes. However, my hands appeared on Gabe's shoulders, which looked really weird. I didn't realise until the second time that I saw the movie that the hands on Gabe's shoulders were meant to be mine.
I've played through the first two stages at least three times now and they play fine.

1- I've upgraded all my weapons to max power. Tycho's weapon I did through his niece. The other 2 I completed via the machine in the last area. The achievement didn't pop after doing this, and I still have 600 some odd robot pieces left over. I didn't max overkills though, so maybe that's it? I dunno.
2- I lost the final boss fight and upon reloading, I was stuck unable to do anything but access the menu on the screen just prior to the final boss fight
I did find one critical bug, though; I also ran into schwal's second problem. Specifically:
I am missing 3 robots' worth of parts from the sanitarium, and there is a bouncing trunk in the entrance screen (where the signs are). When I open it, no robots come out, but if I leave the sanitarium and return, that box is back. I have scoured the area, and can't find any others, so I think they're supposed to be in there and it's bugging on me.
tarvis79, when you get further through the game you will unlock more of the sanatarium, the other robots are in there.
I'm going to play fallout(1) until they fix this.
Well ...
Okay... but how exactly would I use them when I've already upgraded all my weapons to their max power?
...I've just realised that this probably isn't a bug and that the gold adds a millimetre to the bolt size. Haha, hopefully anyone else who thinks it's a bug will see this and not report it. :P

I'm using the 360 version
I ran into the same problem, I'm on a 360. When I rebooted it worked fine. It took me back to the autosave that it did right before big fight.
I'm playing on the 360, with an altered character brought from Episode One.
Also, when purchasing
I can only assume that the game knew I had the right amount, it was just the display that was wrong.

It's not a bug, just a slightly confusing, inconsistent display.
I'm also not able to enter the monkey fight for a third time. I used the first card before I got the second, and used the second before I got the third. Xbox 360.
EDIT: Aha. My case log says that I haven't used the second card yet, but I have done and my inventory has it stamped 'used'. I also only have the cutscene available to view for the first card.
Also regarding the secret achievement:

I am a freaking nerd.
I had the except same problem--restarting the console and loading the game worked for me.
EDIT: I did try the monkey cards in order IE I got the first card, tried once, got the second card, tried again, and then am getting the glitch on the third try.
EDIT AGAIN: also I'm on the XBLA version (still)
Yeah, I'm in the exact same situation.

This is pretty much my exact experience. The problems with the special attack minigames are very annoying and I get frustrated when it costs me an Overkill bonus (which has happened quite a few times now). I noticed this to a smaller degree in Episode 1, but the mini-games weren't quite as stringent in terms of key accuracy so it wasn't a big deal to get the bonuses. Since the minigames now have tougher requirements it's gotten more noticeable. Part of the problem is that it's the only real flaw I've noticed that actually is significant enough to detract from the game, and the tiniest blemish on a pure and clean surface is going to stick out like a sore thumb. Still, I hope that it gets fixed in Episode 3.
The only other complaint I have is that the block signals still need to be worked on. There are quite a few enemies in which it's gotten much better and that if you actually hit the block key right after it flashes it'll actually work, but there are some others (spiders and rich folks in the estates) where it's still off and you actually have to go before the block actually flashes.
Those are the only two, and even the blocking isn't a big deal (though the lack of registering key presses on special attacks is). Overall I'm enjoying it much more and am definitely liking the small touches here and there. Great job Hothead and PA - I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.
After experimenting a bit, I think I've found a way to avoid this bug (in the 360 version, at least). Before using all three monkey cards, DO NOT get the golden bolt. I actually avoided even talking to the bolt guy until after the monkey fight subquest ended.
On my first attempted playthrough, I made the mistake of giving the bolt to Anne before using the third card. After I tried using the third card and was prevented from entering the arena, I checked the case log and noticed that the "use the second card" objective had actually been un-crossed off. If you run into this bug, there appears to be nothing else you can do but give up and start a new game.
On my subsequent two playthroughs (the second one was on Insane), I avoided the bolt subquest and had no problems making it through either time.
This sounds plausible. I'm going to wait for a patch rather than start again, though.

I made a YouTube video showing the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE1rtakAcdw
