I'm sort of the same way and I think I've narrowed down the cause to be either choice fatigue and/or perfectionism. With a bug, the problem is "it's broke", the solution is "fix it". I don't have to think about languages, frameworks, APIs, code style/structure/efficiency/maintainability, etc. It's already in place and it's just not doing exactly what is expected, usually in some relatively minor way. With a new feature, or worse, project, the options are endless. From "Should I use a stack I'm comfortable with or use this opportunity to learn a new technology?" to "Should I completely rethink how a user enters information into a computer or just use a text box?".
