[MC-100326] Diagonal piston towers behave strangely when powered from below

This one's hard to explain with text, so hopefully the video and pictures do a good job.

Essentially I built a diagonal tower for one of my projects, and attempted to power it from below with only one line of redstone. I don't see a problem with this, as pistons aren't solid blocks and therefore shouldn't block the redstone signal. However the pistons do not appear to be powered by the piece of redstone visually going into it, instead they seems to be powered by both the block horizontally to them and the piece of redstone on top of it, both 2 blocks away.

To replicate the bug just build the setup in the pictures and try it for yourself.

Since the video attachment isn't seeming to work for me, I went ahead and put it on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CA0cqbQ0Krw

This is a bug but won't be fixed, because fixing this will break many redstone circuits, see MC-9405 _{Edit: Fix link}

Has Mojang stated they won't be fixing any piston bugs? This issue seems significantly different from the issue you linked, as that deals with quasiconnectivity and block updates. Neither of those things seem present in this bug, and the BUD behavior I showed in the video only seems like a minor side effect.

This report and MC-9405 have nothing to do with BUD's, QC or block updates

This bug actually breaks circuits more than it fixes them
