When I was testing out the bartering mechanic with the piglins, I offered one a gold block, which it picked up, then to drop its crossbow and start attacking me with the gold block. I'm not sure this is intended as the snapshot news page said that only gold ingots could be used to barter, but it would make sense that they would also value gold blocks. So I'm just confused why they have such a strange reaction to blocks of gold in particular.

I think they can put anything into their inventory even, I've seen them do it with pork and leather dropped from hoglins they killed.
Pretty sure this is intended. they dont accept is as bartering but they put it in their inventory, just like they will do with gold gear/tools
