[MC-14380] Piston with redstone block on top will get stuck

I was about to build a contraption to "mark" full chests with a lit redstone lamp, when I encountered this:

If you put any piston facing upwards, put a redstone block on it and extend the piston with a lever or button (or any otehr edstone signal), the piston will not retract anymore.

Tried to look for it, but "redstoneblock" didn't yield any compareable results.

Pasting "redstoneblock" into quick search gives me 9 results, 8 of which exactly describe what you are reporting here.
