[MC-15414] Using a spawn egg that cannot be obtained in the creative menu performs no action.

I had given myself a spawn egg ingame for the arrow, xp and endercrystal. Right clicking performed the "use" animation but performed no action. This is annoying for map makers.

Are non-standard eggs supposed to work in creative mode ?
Do they work in survival / adventure mode ? Maps usually cannot be tested in creative mode...

Unfortunately for some of my map concepts, functionality of spawn eggs for various entities (other than mobs), as well as several mobs of various types (Ender Dragon, Iron Golem, Wither), was removed in version 1.2.1 (http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Spawn_egg#History
"Before 1.2, edited eggs for Snow Golems, Ender Dragons, and Giants (and other "unspawnable" mobs) produced mobs of their types.")
It's not a bug, but it's sure as hell annoying to work with.

I have tried in survival mode. Still no action.

Confirmed.

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.
