Could you please supply complete details, including an example to reproduce the error message you get. The "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" error message is produced when you try to force the use of an old RNG that is known to have bugs. Usually it should not appear, so I think you are doing something unusual.
And undocumented -- "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" is not a documented value for normal.kind, so what happens when you use it (or any other undocumented value) is undefined. (It is not a bug to fail to pick up every user error.)

Unfortunately, RNGkind is buggy. It will not generate warnings except the full name "Buggy Kinderman-Ramage" is supplied for normal.kind. match.arg is supposed to be called before "==" comparison.
Quote your authority for this, please!
