Hmm.  Tried again.  Severely trimmed my .emacs to the following:

;;
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
(global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
(global-set-key "\C-cc" 'org-capture)
(global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-switchb)
(custom-set-variables
 '(package-archives
   (quote
    (("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/";)
     ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/";)
     ("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/";))))
 '(package-selected-packages
   (quote
    (org adaptive-wrap auctex auto-correct python)))
 '(text-mode-hook
   (quote
    (turn-on-flyspell visual-line-mode text-mode-hook-identify))))
(custom-set-faces
 '(cursor ((t (:background "blue")))))
;;

I am running Emacs v26.1 on Cygwin under Windows with Org v9.1.14.
Everything seems to work fine (slow at times, but...).  A simple file
produces the problem (and, of course, it is seen in much more complex
files).

* Header 1

* Header 2

Position the cursor on '1' and M-return will create a new header with a
blank line before and after it, but C-return will create a new header
with a blank line before, but not after it.

Not a Lisp person, but I was wondering if there is something different
in the way org-meta-return is doing its processing to determine if it
should handle a header, list, or a table?  That extra processing doesn't
appear to be in C-return.
