Video recording of water and top-half slab bug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gcZIO6C74k
This ticket should probably be split up, so that we have one ticket for lava not being able to be placed, and one ticket for waterlogging while looking at the top face of a top slab / bottom face of a bottom slab.
Confirming for 1.13-pre1.
I suspect the water aspect of this might be intentional? For lava though, and for double slabs. it makes no sense.
Also, this seems to be related to MC-126906.
