I've looked deeply into the weapon bonuses here, and everything seems to be working as designed. The maximum ego bonus for something of Fury is +30, +30, so +28 is very high, but not a bug. Perhaps the rarities problem we have (see #488) has made powerful items seem more common? Perhaps you've just been lucky?
I have looked less deeply into the AC side of things, particularly where we have a collision between MAngband specifics as in the Orcish Shield of the Avari. When the rarities are fixed this type of item should be so rare that it probably deserves a high AC anyway.
I'm closing this ticket, as bonuses seem to be working as designed.

There seems to be a problem with some ego items having extremely high plusses (an orcish avari has been seen with +36 to AC which should be impossible, without checking I'm pretty sure the highest I've ever seen in the past was +30. Avari's will typically have higher AC than many others, which is intended behavior, but I've found many items that got too high plusses. I have also found istari's with way too high plusses and a Halberd of fury with +28 to hit. This should be impossible.(Zaphod played 18 months at the bottom without finding any higher than +24 IIRC). Numbers over 20 on weapons is generally very very rare. 28 is just obscene.
