Not a bug and not introduced by the Dragonborn dlc.
Understandable to think so if your character's never been diseased before, however...
...even in vanilla Skyrim those with vamp or wolf blood can still catch diseases from traps.
Critters cannot infect you. True. But traps are a different danger.
See the first note at the bottom of this page: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Disease
So again for clarity, this is not a bug.
Hope that helps
