Are you sure you are not confusing the step response of a transfer
function with the step response of a looped system containing an
integrator ?

Once you close the loop, the global transfer function is not the one you
mentionned but
H = G/(1+G)
for a unity feedback (for example), which exhibits the oscillation and
the unity steady state.

What you did in your control engineering classes may be the closed-loop
system...
