No capacitor as far as I can tell.  I looked at it on the scope and the
transitions were no different than if I just used a 2.2K resistor and
a bare wire as a switch.  In both cases I noticed some nasty
transitions.

(...) Did you try to test contact bounce ? since there is a rather high value resistor, perhaps Lego added a small capacitor too to debounce it? Philo www.philohome.com (23 years ago, 29-Jun-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
