[MC-122327] No longer able to place buttons or levers on pistons

The bug

As of 1.9, pistons were considered to have a solid top surface, meaning levers, buttons, flower pots, torches, and the like were able to be placed on them. However, in 17w47b, you can no longer place buttons or levers on top of pistons (flower pots and torches still work).

This may be intended, as originally, it was a bug.

That was a bug related to those blocks popping off when pistons extend. I'm relatively sure they're still intended to be placed on pistons (I guess the resolution to this bug will determine that), but the issue I'm referring to is that levers and buttons can't be placed on pistons anymore as of this snapshot.

Just want to add that you can place buttons and levers on the bottom of the piston

Confirmed for 1.13.2-pre2.

Normally Works As Intended. Originally, it was a bug and it is supposed to work only with flowerpots and torches.
It is the same question with hoppers (see MC-122352).
