Gravel/sand blocks in the nether are not affected by gravity, even when manually placed or updated (eg. by destroying a block next to floating gravel). Seems to only happen after spending some time in the nether, possibly related to chunk updates. Reproducible after entering the nether and waiting a while for the world to generate and lava to fall (1-5 minutes).

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases.
It's not only gravitiy affected blocks all block updates are disabled after certain amount of time. Redstone not updating, lava not updating etc.
No real steps to reproduce, just wait one minute in the Nether or the End. Most visible with a simple redstone clock, watch it as it freezes after one minute.
The same to ne Nether. If one player is in orverworld, all works fine. If all player are in the nether, all block updates freezes.
Hello, I can confirm that this is still not fixed in 13w17a. All block updates stop after a minute or so in the End. Can any mods confirm this and reopen?

Confirmed. Appears to only happen near pre-generated gravel.
