By right-clicking the side of the collision box of a rail, it is possible to place an infinite number of minecarts on that one rail. If this is done with TNT minecarts, it is possible to make many TNT minecarts detonate at the same time and place, which creates a very strange crater, and can launch things very far away.

Oh, that issue was actually marked as resolved for some reason?? That would explain why I didn't find it in searches - I only searched for unresolved issues. But, why is this bug considered resolved ????
The Status field is rarely of any interest. What you should pay attention to is the Resolution itself: In the case of MC-7867, that resolution is "Works As Intended", meaning that they designed it to do that, and it's not a bug. Entities in general can occupy the same space, TNT minecarts are intended to explode when crashing into things or falling off things, multiple simultaneous explosions in the same space are intended to amplify each other, and the strange hole is the result of the ray tracing algorithm used for explosions interfering with each other.
