The update mechanism of pistons are broken since 13w09b. I tested an elevator design from 1.4.7 in all snapshots and now its broken. The design was based on a perfect timing and logic. In the Video I show you the Problem exactly. I think the reason is the changed updating mechanism of pistons. The BUD-powered Sticky fires first, not the normal piston. And thats the bug. Actually the directly powered normal piston should fire first! ... please fix this!

They said that they changed the way pistons update and that it might break BUD-s, so i think this is not a bug.
Also check MC-11193, it might be similar
Jeah they changed the way pistons are updating. BUT its illogical that a BUD-powered piston is preferred. The normal piston is powered directly, so this one should extend first. Like it was before. Im very sad about that bug 😞 Because it took ages to invent this thing and as i said it is based on a perfectly calculated timing difference...
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.6.2 / Launcher version 1.1.3 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
Can you zip up the world file and upload it? Also, maybe they fixed that bug in the 1.5 prerelease
