Fence posts, as well as walls, glass panes, iron bars and torches connect to a number of non-solid blocks listed below. This probably results from the improved connectivity towards stairs but can't really be intentional.

The fact that signs and banners connect, kind of make sense? No more flying infront of fences!
But you are right, when signs are standing on the ground they should not attach. Otherwise they should
Oh god, attached sings can't connect either. I can't count how many furniture constructions that would break in my world.
Okay, it seems fences didn't connect to dragon eggs in previous versions, so I think they are affected here.
Can confirm
