When you have an horizontal hopper loop with multiple hoppers locked, something like this:
---------!
!---------
Being the - and ! hoppers feeding into each other in a loop.
When you have 1 item in the loop and send a pulse to unlock all the hoppers at the same time so the item will go to the next hopper in the loop, that case works fine... something like this:
----A----!
!----------
Being A the item in the hopper, when unlock the item will pass to the next hopper correctly.
If you have multiple items in the loop, one behind the other, like this:
---A B---!
!---------
When the pulse is send to the loop to unlock it, 3 things can happen depending in the position of the items in the loop (this is consistent, always happen the same in the same spot):
Case 1:
---AB---!
!---------
----AB--!
!---------
Case 2:
---AB---!
!---------
----C---!
!---------
C = A+B
Case 3:
---AB---!
!---------
---A-B--!
!---------
Only the first case should happen, Item A in the Hopper 1 should go to the Hopper 2 and Item B in the Hopper 2 should go to the Hopper 3. This problem is positional, the result may change depending the position of the hoppers in the map and the lenght of the pulse.

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.

I did some more testing and the problem is positional, no directional.
Here is the video http://youtu.be/jz7PSGaT3CM, I also updated the description.
