Redstone torches can't be set to unlit with the Debug stick

In all those versions affected by this glitch, redstone torches cannot be set to the ("lit" to false) property, if you try to set the redstone torches to unlit, they will turn off for less then a second and change it back to be lit. So basically this means that you can't set it to unlit even if the game says it's not lit. This glitch is really annoying and it is affecting my adventure map so please Mojang fix this.

P.S: I tested it on many worlds and the result was the same: the redstone torches couldn't be set to unlit.
