Torches in mineshafts not generating correctly, often dropped or floating

The bug

Torches in mineshafts generate often dropped or without a supporting block. Most of the torches which are at valid places are attached to the naturally generated block which remained (for example stone), only a few are attached to wooden planks.

How to reproduce

1. Create a superflat world with the following preset

   3;80*minecraft:stained_glass;127;mineshaft

2. Use the following command

   /say @e[type=item]

   → You will see many torch items being listed. You can also fly around in spectator mode to see them.
