    Not a bug, defense can only reduce monster damage down to 15.5% of it original value. https://strategywiki.org/wiki/MapleStory/Formulas#Monster.27s_Damage

    Desert rabbit has an attack rating of only 624, thus the damage taken can only be reduced to 96 by defense alone.
    Minimum defense needed to make them do minimum damage is around 500, increasing your defense past 500 will not make the damage lower due to the above reason.

    then that defeats the whole purpose of Shield Mastery +250% DEF, due to "Minimum defense needed to make them do minimum damage is around 500, increasing your defense past 500 will not make the damage lower due to the above reason."

    so no more 1 damage taken

    It is no longer possible to take 1 damage from normal monster anymore by having excess amount of defense alone.
    Warrior gain enough defense from str alone to take minimum damage for a long time, so you won't see the effect of shield mastery unless the monster has a extremely high attack rating to overtake your str growth (madman ranmaru, horntail tail), or you fight monster that are significantly higher level than you (being under-leveled allows monster to ignore a percentage of your defense)
