Cannot turn Logs into Stripped Logs at height 256 (game assumes height limit)

I built a giant strip of logs in the air because I wanted to get tons of stripped logs, but the top block can't be stripped for some reason. The game is assuming I'm at 256, but the block is at 255. By moving down to 255 (thankfully I had more blocks on me) it let me strip the log. This isn't too major but it is weird
