A monk armor class is only affected by its unnarmed defense that it gets from martial arts while not wearing armor or shields, but when you equip a shield the AC value from unnarmed defense stacks with the AC bonus from the shield
Yes, this is a known issue. Note that Barbarians also get Unarmored Defense and are allowed to wield a shield with the AC bonus. For the time being, just don't equip a shield on your Monk.
